Akka/Scala example source code file (http.rst)

This example Akka source code file (http.rst) is included in my "Source Code Warehouse" project. The intent of this project is to help you more easily find Akka and Scala source code examples by using tags.

All credit for the original source code belongs to akka.io; I'm just trying to make examples easier to find. (For my Scala work, see my Scala examples and tutorials.)

Incomplete List of HTTP Frameworks
##################################

Play
====

The `Play framework <http://www.playframework.com>`_ is built using Akka, and is well suited for building both full web applications as well as REST services.

Spray
=====

The `Spray toolkit <http://spray.io>`_ is built using Akka, and is a minimalistic HTTP/REST layer.

Akka Mist
=========

If you are using Akka Mist (Akka's old HTTP/REST module) with Akka 1.x and wish to upgrade to 2.x
there is now a port of Akka Mist to Akka 2.x. You can find it `here <https://github.com/thenewmotion/akka-http>`_.

Other Alternatives
==================

There are a bunch of other alternatives for using Akka with HTTP/REST. You can find some of them
among the `Community Projects <http://akka.io/community>`_.
