Why Sharaf?

Simplicity and ease of use is the main focus of Sharaf.

It is built on top of Undertow.
This means you can use awesome libraries built for Undertow, like pac4j for security and others.
You can leverage Undertow's lower level API, e.g. for WebSockets.

Sharaf bundles a set of standalone libraries:

• querson for query parameters
• tupson for JSON
• formson for forms
• validson for validation
• hepek-components for HTML (with scalatags)
• requests for firing HTTP requests
• typesafe-config for configuration

You can use any of above separately in your projects.

Why name "Sharaf"?

Šaraf means a "screw" in Bosnian, which reminds me of scala spiral logo.
It's a germanism I think.
