Web Framework

The Helma NG Web Framework is a full featured web stack. It is built on top of a JSGI compliant interface including a rich set of practical middleware. On top of that it adds features such as:

• Convenience wrappers for request and response objects.
• Smart HTTP parameter parsing.
• HTTP file upload support.
• HTTP session support.
• RegExp/module based request dispatching.
• Flexible and powerful templating support.

The Helma NG demo app showcases a number of these features. To run the demo application on your computer run the following command:

helma apps/demo/main.js

This starts and serves the demo web app on port 8080:
