Wisp is a practical, type-safe web framework for the Gleam language, built on the Mist HTTP server and the BEAM runtime. It is structured around composable handlers and middleware, with built-in support for routing, body parsing, signed cookies, static file serving, logging, and testing helpers.

Use cases

• build a web application in Gleam
• create a JSON API with type-safe routing
• serve static assets alongside dynamic handlers
• handle file uploads safely with body size limits
• write easily testable HTTP handlers
• prototype a web service on the BEAM

When to choose

• you are writing a web app or API in Gleam
• you want type safety and no hidden magic in your web framework
• you need fast, reliable performance on the BEAM runtime
• you value simple, testable handler-based design

When to avoid

• you need a framework for a language other than Gleam
• you require a huge ecosystem of off-the-shelf plugins and admin tooling
• you want batteries-included full-stack features like built-in ORM or frontend tooling
