Play2 Mini
==========
Play
====
The Akka team recommends the `Play2 Mini <https://github.com/typesafehub/play2-mini>`_ framework when building RESTful
service applications that integrates with Akka. It provides a REST API on top of `Play2 <https://github.com/playframework/Play20/>`_.
The `Play framework <http://www.playframework.com>`_ is built using Akka, and is well suited for building both full web applications as well as REST services.
Getting started
---------------
Easiest way to get started with `Play2 Mini <https://github.com/typesafehub/play2-mini>`_ is to use the
G8 project templates, as described in the `Play2 Mini Documentation <https://github.com/typesafehub/play2-mini>`_.
If you already have an Akka project and want to add Play2 Mini, you must first add the following to
your ``libraryDependencies``::
libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe" %% "play-mini" % "<version-number>"
In case you need to start Play2 Mini programatically you can use::
play.core.server.NettyServer.main(Array())
Spray
=====
The `Spray toolkit <http://spray.io>`_ is built using Akka, and is a minimalistic HTTP/REST layer.
