= Halcyon JSON Application Framework

A JSON Web Application Framework for developing lightweight applications
interfaced via JSON-encoded HTTP requests. This is ideal for back end
applications serving functionality for other applications.

== On Rack

Halcyon is based off of Rack. Rejoice, Rack is amazing.

== Development

Halcyon is currently undergoing major refactoring and restructuring. The API is
subject to change up until the official 0.5.0 release.

== Installation

A Gem of Halcyon is available.  You can install it with:

  $ sudo gem install halcyon

Alternatively, you can install the latest development efforts from the git
repository, located at http://github.com/mtodd/halcyon:

  $ git clone git://github.com/mtodd/halcyon.git
  $ cd halcyon; rake install

Don't forget to install the JSON gem for improved performance:

  $ sudo gem install json

== Usage

Usage instructions will be updated when the application generation code is
completed.
