Routing with Compojure
Learn to define web routes and match incoming requests to specific handler functions using Compojure.
What is Web Routing?
When you type a URL into your browser, how does a web application know which part of its code to run?
This is where routing comes in! Routing is the process of mapping incoming web requests (like visiting a URL) to specific functions or pieces of code that handle them.
- It directs traffic.
- It organizes your application.
- It makes URLs meaningful.
Introducing Compojure
Compojure is a popular routing library for Clojure web applications. It builds on top of Ring, Clojure's web application specification.
Compojure provides simple macros to define routes, making it easy to connect URLs to your handler functions. It helps keep your web application's structure clean and understandable.
