COBOL on Wheelchair is a micro web-framework written in COBOL that runs via CGI on an Apache server with GNU Cobol. It is a novelty project demonstrating that web applications can be built in COBOL.
Use cases
- build a web app in cobol
- run a cgi web framework with gnu cobol
- experiment with writing http handlers in cobol
- serve web pages from a legacy cobol codebase
- learn how cgi-based web frameworks work
When to choose
- you want to build a small web app in COBOL for fun or education
- you need to expose existing COBOL logic over HTTP via CGI
- you're exploring unusual language web frameworks
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade web framework with modern features
- you want async, middleware ecosystems, or community support
- your stack doesn't include Apache with cgi-bin and GNU Cobol
