Philosophy
The Iris philosophy is to provide robust tooling for HTTP, making it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs. Keep note that, today, iris is faster than nginx itself.
Iris does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for the most used template engines (6+), you can quickly craft the perfect application.

Who is kataras?
Hi, my name is Gerasimos Maropoulos and I'm the author of this project, let me put a few words about me.
I started to design Iris the night of the 13 March 2016, some weeks later, iris started to became famous and I have to fix many issues and implement new features, but I didn't have time to work on Iris because I had a part time job and the (software engineering) colleague which I studied.
I wanted to make iris' users proud of the framework they're using, so I decided to interrupt my studies and colleague, two days later I left from my part time job also.
Today I spend all my days and nights coding for Iris, and I'm happy about this, therefore I have zero incoming value.
- Star the project, will help you to follow the upcoming features.
- Donate, if you can afford any cost.
- Write an article about Iris or even post a Tweet.
