## What it is
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
