= Spin

Spin is an unbundled web library, not a web framework.

What's the difference? By our definition, a library is a set of supporting utility functions. In contrast, a framework is a system that calls into your code, via functions (or callbacks). With a library, the control of the program is very much with the developer. With a framework, the overall control of the program is taken away from the developer. This might or might not be a worthwhile trade, depending on your needs.

== Status

Spin is still in development and is ALPHA status, meaning that the API should be considered unstable and likely to change.

IMPORTANT: Currently, work on Spin has stopped temporarily and active development of the various utility functions is taking place in https://github.com/juxt/site.

== Naming

The name 'spin' is a deliberate pun on the word 'web'.
