Dream is a tidy, feature-complete web framework for OCaml and ReasonML with a flat, one-module API. It supports WebSockets, GraphQL, HTTP/2, TLS, sessions, secure cookies, CSRF-safe forms, and HTML templating with embedded OCaml.

Use cases

• build web apps in OCaml without boilerplate
• serve WebSockets and GraphQL from an OCaml backend
• run HTTPS and HTTP/2 without a reverse proxy
• create secure forms and cookie-based sessions
• write full-stack OCaml apps with Melange or js_of_ocaml frontends
• compose middleware and routes as plain functions

When to choose

• you are building a web server or API in OCaml or ReasonML
• you want a batteries-included framework with security helpers built in
• you prefer a small, flat API with minimal custom types
• you need transparent HTTP/2 and TLS without a proxy

When to avoid

• you need an ecosystem in a mainstream language like Python, Node, or Go
• you want a highly opinionated, batteries-heavy framework with ORMs and admin panels
• your team has no OCaml experience
