Jazzy Framework

Installation

Meet Jazzy 🎷

Jazzy is a productive, developer-friendly web framework for Nim. It’s designed to let you write less code while building more features. If you love clean syntax and high performance, you’re in the right place.

Server Requirements

Jazzy runs on the Nim programming language. Ensure you have Nim installed:

  • Nim >= 2.0.0

Installing Jazzy

You can install Jazzy via Nimble, the Nim package manager:

Terminal window
nimble install jazzy

Your First Project

Let’s spin up a “Hello World” application in seconds.

1. Create app.nim

Create a new file named app.nim and start the server:

import jazzy


# Define a simple route handler
proc home(ctx: Context) =
  ctx.text("Hello Jazzy!")


# Register the route
Route.get("/", home)


# Serve on port 8080
Jazzy.serve(8080)

2. Run It

Run your application using the Nim compiler:

Terminal window
nim c -r app.nim

You should see:
