Dancer2 - Lightweight yet powerful web application framework
version 0.160003
Dancer2 is the new generation of Dancer, the lightweight web-framework for Perl. Dancer2 is a complete rewrite based on Moo.
Dancer2 can optionally use XS modules for speed, but at its core remains fatpackable (packable by App::FatPacker) so you could easily deploy Dancer2 applications on hosts that do not support custom CPAN modules.
Dancer2 is easy and fun:
use Dancer2;
get '/' => sub { "Hello World" };
dance;
This is the main module for the Dancer2 distribution. It contains logic for creating a new Dancer2 application.

Dancer2 Migration guide
Dancer2::Manual::Migration provides the most up-to-date instruction on how to convert a Dancer (1) based application to Dancer2.
If it doesn't exist already, import creates a new runner, imports strict
and warnings, loads additional libraries, creates a new Dancer2 app (of type
Dancer2::Core::App) and exports the DSL symbols to the caller.
If any additional argument processing is needed, it will be done at this point.
Import gets called when you use Dancer2. You can specify import options giving you control over the keywords that will be imported into your webapp and other things:
use Dancer2 '!quux'; # Don't import DSL keyword quux
use Dancer2 appname => 'MyAwesomeApp'; # Add routes and hooks to MyAwesomeApp
use Dancer2 ( foo => 'bar' ); # sets option foo to bar (currently not implemented)
Returns the current runner. It is of type Dancer2::Core::Runner.
