Rack provides a minimal, modular and adaptive interface for developing web applications in the Ruby programming language . By wrapping of HTTP requests and HTTP responses, which takes place in the simplest possible way, it standardizes the interface for web servers , web frameworks and software in between, so-called middleware , and distilled these accesses to a single method call.
Rack is used in almost all web frameworks and web libraries in the Ruby world, for example Ruby On Rails and Sinatra . It is available as a Ruby Gem .
Rack has a framework in the JavaScript world (jackjs) and one in the Perl -World ( Plack inspired) and represents a de facto standard of rack compatibility (in the Ruby world English "rack-compliant" ) is .
Sample application
A rack-compatible " Hello World " application in Ruby syntax:
require 'rack'
app = Proc.new do |env|
body = "Hello, World!"
['200', {'Content-Type' => 'text/html', 'Content-Length' => body.length.to_s}, [body]]
end
Rack::Handler::WEBrick.run app
