Lightning Fast, Super Simple web framework for [Crystal](http://www.crystal-lang.org).
Inspired by [Sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com/) but with superior performance and built-in WebSocket support.
# Super Simple ⚡️
```ruby
require "kemal"
# Matches GET "http://host:port/"
get "/" do
"Hello World!"
end
# Creates a WebSocket handler.
# Matches "ws://host:port/socket"
ws "/socket" do |socket|
socket.send "Hello from Kemal!"
end
Kemal.run
```
Start your application!
