Very similar to Scotty, except with the ability to nest handlers and embed parsers as a location to handle.

What are the best Haskell web frameworks for building RESTful web services?

Pros

Pro
Embed Attoparsec parsers and regular expressions in a routable url

If you have a data encoding you would like to allow as a path chunk, you can do so by routing with an attoparsec parser or regular expression directly.

Pro
Nesting of Handlers

The ability to give a handler child handlers turns a list of handlers into a tree of handlers - much easier to maintain.

Pro
Simple and Concise

Routing a RESTful api is very literal in Nested-Routes.

Cons

Con
Complicated Types

There is a lot of advanced language extensions in use for the engine - if you have a typo somewhere, the errors are practically impossible to understand.
