@hectoday/http

An explicit, standards-first HTTP framework built for learning.

Why

Most frameworks abstract HTTP away. @hectoday/http does the opposite.

You work directly with Request, Response, headers, status codes, routing, and guards.

So you actually learn how the web works, not just how to use a framework.

Example

import { route, setup } from "@hectoday/http";

const app = setup([
  route.get("/", {
    resolve: () => {
      return new Response("Hello HTTP");
    },
  }),
]);

Deno.serve(app.fetch);

No wrappers. No custom response objects. Just HTTP.

Principles

• Web standards first
  Built on the Fetch API
• Explicit control flow
  You decide what happens
• Minimal surface area
  Small API, easy to reason about
• Education-first
  Clarity over convenience

Good for

• Learning HTTP properly
• Teaching web fundamentals
• Understanding request lifecycles
• Building APIs

Learn the protocol. Then build the abstractions.
