Lor is a fast, minimalist web framework for Lua built on OpenResty, with Sinatra-style routing and an Express-like API. It includes middleware, group routers, session/cookie/view support, and a `lord` CLI for scaffolding and managing applications.

Use cases

• build restful http apis with openresty
• create a lightweight web server in lua
• build a website or single page application backend on nginx
• scaffold a new openresty web app quickly
• migrate from express-style routing to lua
• add middleware-based request handling to nginx apps

When to choose

• you're already running OpenResty/nginx and want an Express-like framework in Lua
• you need a minimal, fast framework for REST APIs or web backends
• you want Sinatra-style routing with middleware and group routers

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured framework with a large ecosystem and frequent updates
• you're not using OpenResty or nginx as your runtime
• you need async/await-style ergonomics or a non-Lua language
