A Ring Spec to Hang on the Wall

March 28, 2014

Summary: The Ring SPEC is the core of the Clojure web ecosystem. The standard is small and a reference is handy.

If you program the web in Clojure, you probably use Ring. Even if you don't, your server is likely Ring compatible.

Ring has a small SPEC. It's centered around defining the keys one can expect in the request and response maps. And the exact names for keywords are easy to forget.

I don't want to forget. I use Ring often enough that I want a quick reference. A while ago, I printed out a quick summary of the keys for the request and response maps and hung it on the wall behind my monitor. I refer to it frequently.

If you program the web in Clojure, you might appreciate this printout. If you're learning, it could be an invaluable reference. Please download the PDF.
