Horse is an Express-inspired, minimalist web framework for Delphi and Lazarus (Free Pascal) for building fast REST APIs and web services. It provides routing, middleware, request/response handling, WebSockets, streaming, and lifecycle hooks with a lightweight, high-performance design.
Use cases
- build a REST API in Delphi
- create a web server with Lazarus or Free Pascal
- add middleware to a Pascal HTTP server
- serve JSON endpoints from a Delphi application
- add WebSocket support to a Delphi backend
- build microservices in Pascal
When to choose
- you are developing in Delphi, Lazarus, or Free Pascal and need a lightweight REST framework
- you want an Express-style routing and middleware model in Pascal
- you need a fast, minimalist HTTP server without heavy dependencies
When to avoid
- your stack is not Pascal-based (use Express, Flask, Spring, etc.)
- you need a full-featured enterprise framework with built-in ORM and extensive ecosystem
- you require async-first architecture outside the Pascal runtime model
