Welcome to Strata!
[Strata](http://stratajs.org) is a streaming HTTP framework for [node.js](http://nodejs.org)
that is patterned after time-honored and battle tested web application design
principles pioneered in the [Python](http://python.org/) and [Ruby](http://ruby-lang.org)
communities (see [WSGI](http://wsgi.org/wsgi/) and [Rack](http://rack.rubyforge.org/)).
Using Strata, developers can build highly performant web servers in a
powerful, modular style that is easy to maintain and takes full advantage of
the streaming capabilities and excellent I/O handling of node.js.
The goal of this manual is to introduce you to the Strata web framework in a
way that will help you get started quickly by providing clear, concise
explanations and example code. At the same time, the manual provides detailed
descriptions of various components of the framework so that you're not left
wondering how things actually work behind the scenes.
