As a professional web developer focusing on arcane uses of Django for arcane purposes, it occurred to me a little while ago that I didn't actually know how a web framework _worked_.
So I built one.
`spiderweb` is a small web framework, just big enough to hold a spider. Getting started is easy:
```shell
poetry add spiderweb-framework
```
Create a new file and drop this in it:
```python
from spiderweb import SpiderwebRouter
from spiderweb.response import HttpResponse
app = SpiderwebRouter()
@app.route("/")
def index(request):
return HttpResponse("HELLO, WORLD!")
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.start()
```

My goal with this framework was to do three things:
1. Learn a lot
2. Create an unholy blend of Django and Flask
3. Not look at any existing code. Go off of vibes alone and try to solve all the problems I could think of in my own way
And, honestly, I think I got there. Here's a non-exhaustive list of things this can do:
- Function-based views
- Optional Flask-style URL routing
- Optional Django-style URL routing
- URLs with variables in them a lá Django
- Full middleware implementation
- Limit routes by HTTP verbs
- Custom error routes
- Built-in dev server
- Gunicorn support
- HTML templates with Jinja2
- Static files support
- Cookies (reading and setting)
- Optional append_slash (with automatic redirects!)
- CSRF middleware
- CORS middleware
- Optional POST data validation middleware with Pydantic
- Session middleware with built-in session store
- Database support (using Peewee, but you can use whatever you want as long as there's a Peewee driver for it)
- Tests (currently a little over 80% coverage)
Once tests are in and proven to work, then I'll release as version 1.0.
- currently missing tests for cors middleware
