Nancy is a lightweight, low-ceremony web framework for building HTTP-based services on .NET Framework/Core and Mono. It provides a simple DSL for handling HTTP requests with minimal boilerplate, but the project is officially no longer maintained.
Use cases
- build a lightweight REST API in C#
- create HTTP services on Mono
- define routes with a minimal DSL
- self-host a small web service on .NET
- prototype HTTP endpoints quickly
When to choose
- maintaining an existing legacy Nancy application
- working on Mono or older .NET Framework projects where Nancy is already in use
When to avoid
- starting a new .NET web project
- needing long-term support or security updates
- building modern ASP.NET Core applications
