Mitchell: First allow me to apologize for the tone of my comment. Re-reading it now, I realize that I glossed over a key point: I used Vagrant every day for a team of 5 people.…

From the project README

An excerpt from the repository, fetched Nov 15, 2026.

Read the project’s introduction
Ring Ring is a Clojure web applications library inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack. By abstracting the details of HTTP into a simple, unified API, Ring allows web applications to be constructed of modular components that can be shared among a variety of applications, web servers, and web frameworks. The SPEC.md file at the root of this distribution provides a complete description of the Ring interface. The Wiki contains more in-depth documentation on how to use Ring. Libraries ring/ring - meta-package containing all relevant dependencies ring/ring-core - core functions and middleware for Ring handlers, requests and responses org.ring-clojure/ring-core-protocols - contains only the protocols necessary for building Ring responses org.ring-clojure/ring-websocket-protocols - contains only the protocols necessary for WebSockets ring/ring-devel - functions for developing and debugging Ring applications ring/ring-servlet - construct legacy Java Servlets (≤ 4.0) from Ring handlers org.ring-clojure/ring-jakarta-servlet construct Jakarta Servlets (≥ 5.0) from Ring handlers ring/ring-jetty-adapter - a Ring adapter that uses an embedded Jetty web server Installation To include one of the above libraries, for instance ring-core, add the following dependency to your deps.edn file: ring/ring-core {:mvn/version "1.15.6"} Or to your Leiningen project file: [ring/ring-core "1.15.6"] Documentation Changelog Wiki API docs Contributing Please read CONTRIBUTING.md before submitting a pull request. Thanks This project borrows heavily from Ruby's Rack and Python's WSGI; thanks to those communities for their work. Thanks also go to the many individuals who have contributed to Ring's code and documentation over the years. License Copyright © 2009-2026 Mark McGranaghan, James Reeves & contributors.
