Mojolicious is a real-time web application framework, written by Sebastian Riedel, creator of the web application framework Catalyst.^[2] Licensed as free software under the Artistic License v 2.0, It is written in Perl, and is designed for use in both simple and complex web applications, based on Riedel's previous experience developing Catalyst.^[3] Documentation for the framework was partly funded by a grant from The Perl Foundation.^[4]

As it is written in Perl, Mojolicious can run on any of the many operating systems for which Perl is available, and can be installed directly from CPAN^[5]. Prebuilt packages of Mojolicious are also available for NetBSD from pkgsrc^[6] and for Microsoft Windows and other operating systems from ActiveState's Perl package manager^[7].

Features

• out-of-the-box support for RESTful routes, plugins, Perl-ish templates, session management, signed cookies, testing framework, static file server, internationalization and localization and full unicode support
• portable and object oriented Perl API with no requirements besides Perl 5.10.1 (although 5.12+ is recommended, and optional CPAN modules will be used to provide advanced functionality if they are installed)
• Full stack HTTP 1.1 and WebSocket^[9][10] client/server implementation with IPv6, TLS, Bonjour, IDNA, Comet (long polling), chunking and multipart support
• Built-in non-blocking I/O web server supporting libev and hot deployment for embedding^[11]
• Automatic CGI and PSGI detection
• JSON and HTML5/XML parser with CSS3 selector support^[12]
