## What it is
MochiWeb is an Erlang library for building lightweight, fast HTTP servers. It provides a simple API and project scaffolding for creating robust, scalable web server applications on Erlang OTP.

## Use cases
- build a lightweight HTTP server in Erlang
- serve HTTP endpoints from an Erlang application
- embed a small web server in a resource-constrained environment
- scaffold a new Erlang web project quickly
- handle high-concurrency HTTP requests with Erlang

## When to choose
- you are developing in Erlang/OTP and need a minimal HTTP server
- you want a lightweight, fast server library without heavy framework overhead
- you need to embed HTTP serving inside an Erlang application

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured web framework with templating, ORM, and middleware ecosystems
- your stack is not Erlang/Elixir
- you prefer batteries-included frameworks like Phoenix or larger ecosystems

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: http-server, web-framework, routing
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: elixir, windows
- tags: erlang, lightweight, http, otp, linux, macos
