DESCRIPTION:

Anobik is a simple rack middleware ruby microframework

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Anobik is a Rack based microframework that provides an easy way to map URL patterns to classes. URL patterns can be literal strings or regular expressions. when URLs are processed:

	* the beginning and end are anchored (^ $)
	* an optional end slash is added (/?)
	* the i option is added for case-insensitive searches
	* respective class method is called depending on the request method (GET/POST etc.)

Anobik does not provide any database handling mechanism yet. You can ofcourse use any opensource database access layer with it - it’s pretty flexible. Anobik is suitable for small micro-sites where you would love to use your favorite programming language but Rails is a bit heavy for that.

Anobik acts as a Rack middleware app and that means you can use it with a number of webservers including Thin, LiteSpeed, Phusion Passangeretc. And the best part is, you can also use it with Rails, Sinatra or any other Rack based frameworks.

Anobik is truely feather-weight. It has < 250 LOC! It does not have many features but it can get you started early. More docs and more changes are coming soon, stay tuuneed!
