  • spray is an open-source toolkit for building REST/HTTP-based integration layers on top of Scala and Akka. Being asynchronous, actor-based, fast, lightweight, modular and testable it's a great way to connect your Scala applications to the world.

  • spray is a suite of lightweight Scala libraries providing [[client- and server-side REST/HTTP support on top Akka.

    We believe that, having chosen Scala (and possibly Akka) as primary tools for building software, you’ll want to rely on their power not only in your application layer but throughout the full (JVM-level) network stack. spray provides just that: a set of integrated components for all your REST/HTTP needs that let you work with idiomatic Scala (and Akka) APIs at the stack level of your choice, all implemented without any wrapping layers around “legacy” Java libraries.
