+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

-# Responder: a Sorta Familar HTTP Framework for Python
+# Responder
 
-![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1937/30196007887_604e2f10d8_k_d.jpg)
+A familiar HTTP Service Framework for Python, powered by [Starlette](https://www.starlette.io/).
 
-I'm adept to keep the "for humans" tagline off this project, until it comes out of the prototyping phase. I'm building this to learn, and to have fun -- while, at the same time, trying to bring something new to the table.
+```python
+import responder
 
-The Python world certianly doesn't need more web frameworks. But, it does need more creativity, so I thought I'd bring some of my ideas to the table and see what I could come up with.
+api = responder.API()
 
-# The Basic Idea
+@api.route("/{greeting}")
+async def greet_world(req, resp, *, greeting):
+    resp.text = f"{greeting}, world!"
 
-The primary concept here is to bring the nicities that are brought forth from both Flask and Falcon and unify them into a single framework, along with some new ideas I have. I also wanted to take some of the API primitaves that are instilled in the Requests library and put them into a web framework. So, you'll find a lot of parallels here with Requests.
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    api.run()
+```
 
-## Old Ideas
+    $ pip install responder
 
-- Flask-style route expression, with new capabilities -- primarily, the ability to cast a parameter to integers as well as other types that are missing from Flask, all while using Python 3.6+'s new f-string syntax.
+That's it. Supports Python 3.9+.
 
-- I love Falcon's "every request and response is passed into to each view and mutated" methodology, especially `response.media`, and have used it here. In addition to supporting JSON, I have decided to support YAML as well, as Kubernetes is slowly taking over the world, and it uses YAML for all the things. Content-negotiation and all that.
+## The Basics
 
-## New Ideas
+- `resp.text` sends back text. `resp.html` sends back HTML. `resp.content` sends back bytes.
+- `resp.media` sends back JSON (or YAML, with content negotiation).
+- `resp.file("path.pdf")` serves a file with automatic content-type detection.
+- `req.headers` is case-insensitive. `req.params` gives you query parameters.
+- Both sync and async views work — the `async` is optional.
 
-- **A built in testing client that uses the actual Requests you know and love**.
-- In addition to Falcon's `on_get`, `on_post`, etc methods, Responder features an `on_request` method, which gets called on every type of request, much like Requests.
-- WhiteNoise is built-in, for serving static files (this has yet to be built out, there's no templating or `static_url` yet)
-- Waitress (will-be) built-in as a production web server. I would have chosen Gunicorn, but it doesn't run on Windows. Plus, Waitress serves well to protect against slowloris attacks, making nginx unneccessary in production.
-- GraphQL support, via Graphene. The goal here is to eventually have an embedded version of GraphiQL exposable at any route.
+## Highlights
 
-## Future Ideas
+```python
+# Type-safe route parameters
+@api.route("/users/{user_id:int}")
+async def get_user(req, resp, *, user_id):
+    resp.media = {"id": user_id}
 
-- I want to be able to "mount" any WSGI app into a sub-route.
-- Cooke-based sessions are currently an afterthrought, as this is an API framework, but websites are APIs too.
-- Potentially support ASGI instead of WSGI. Will the tradeoffs be worth it? This is a question to ask. Procedural code works well for 90% use cases.
+# HTTP method filtering
+@api.route("/items", methods=["POST"])
+async def create_item(req, resp):
+    data = await req.media()
+    resp.media = {"created": data}
 
-# The Goal
+# Class-based views
+@api.route("/things/{id}")
+class ThingResource:
+    def on_get(self, req, resp, *, id):
+        resp.media = {"id": id}
+    def on_post(self, req, resp, *, id):
+        resp.text = "created"
 
-The primary goal here is to learn, not to get adoption. Though, who knows how these things will pan out.
+# Before-request hooks (auth, rate limiting, etc.)
+@api.route(before_request=True)
+def check_auth(req, resp):
+    if not req.headers.get("Authorization"):
+        resp.status_code = 401
+        resp.media = {"error": "unauthorized"}
+
+# Custom error handling
+@api.exception_handler(ValueError)
+async def handle_error(req, resp, exc):
+    resp.status_code = 400
+    resp.media = {"error": str(exc)}
+
+# Lifespan events
+from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
+
+@asynccontextmanager
+async def lifespan(app):
+    print("starting up")
+    yield
+    print("shutting down")
+
+api = responder.API(lifespan=lifespan)
+
+# GraphQL
+import graphene
+api.graphql("/graphql", schema=graphene.Schema(query=Query))
+
+# WebSockets
+@api.route("/ws", websocket=True)
+async def websocket(ws):
+    await ws.accept()
+    while True:
+        name = await ws.receive_text()
+        await ws.send_text(f"Hello {name}!")
+
+# Mount WSGI/ASGI apps
+from flask import Flask
+flask_app = Flask(__name__)
+api.mount("/flask", flask_app)
+
+# Background tasks
+@api.route("/work")
+def do_work(req, resp):
+    @api.background.task
+    def process():
+        import time; time.sleep(10)
+    process()
+    resp.media = {"status": "processing"}
+```
+
+Built-in OpenAPI docs, cookie-based sessions, gzip compression, static file serving, Jinja2 templates, and a production uvicorn server.
+
+Route convertors: `str`, `int`, `float`, `uuid`, `path`.

+Responder CLI
+=============
+
+Responder installs a command line program ``responder``. Use it to launch
+a Responder application from a file or module, either located on a local
+or remote filesystem, or object store.
+
+Launch Module Entrypoint
+------------------------
+
+For loading a Responder application from a Python module, you will refer to
+its ``API()`` instance using a `Python entry point object reference`_ that
+points to a Python object. It is either in the form ``importable.module``,
+or ``importable.module:object.attr``.
+
+A basic invocation command to launch a Responder application:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    responder run acme.app
+
+The command above assumes a Python package ``acme`` including an ``app``
+module ``acme/app.py`` that includes an attribute ``api`` that refers
+to a ``responder.API`` instance, reflecting the typical layout of
+a standard Responder application.
+
+Loading a Responder application using an entrypoint specification will
+inherit the capacities of `Python's import system`_, as implemented by
+`importlib`_.
+
+Launch Local File
+-----------------
+
+Acquire a minimal example single-file application, ``helloworld.py`` [1]_,
+to your local filesystem, giving you the chance to edit it, and launch the
+Responder HTTP service.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    wget https://github.com/kennethreitz/responder/raw/refs/heads/main/examples/helloworld.py
+    responder run helloworld.py
+
+.. note::
+
+    To validate the example application, invoke a HTTP request, for example using
+    `curl`_, `HTTPie`_, or your favourite browser at hand.
+
+    .. code-block:: shell
+
+        http http://127.0.0.1:5042/Hello
+
+    The response is no surprise.
+
+    ::
+
+        HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+        content-length: 13
+        content-type: text/plain
+        date: Sat, 26 Oct 2024 13:16:55 GMT
+        encoding: utf-8
+        server: uvicorn
+
+        Hello, world!
+
+.. [1] The Responder application `helloworld.py`_ implements a basic echo handler.
+
+Launch Remote File
+------------------
+
+You can also launch a single-file application where its Python file is stored
+on a remote location.
+
+Responder supports all filesystem adapters compatible with `fsspec`_, and
+installs the adapters for Azure Blob Storage (az), Google Cloud Storage (gs),
+GitHub, HTTP, and AWS S3 by default.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    # Works 1:1.
+    responder run https://github.com/kennethreitz/responder/raw/refs/heads/main/examples/helloworld.py
+    responder run github://kennethreitz:responder@/examples/helloworld.py
+
+If you need access other kinds of remote targets, see the `list of

+
+    .. code-block:: shell
+
+        uv pip install 'fsspec[full]'
+
+    When using ``uv``, this concludes within an acceptable time of approx.
+    25 seconds. If you need to be more selectively instead of using ``full``,
+    choose from one or multiple of the available `fsspec extras`_, which are:
+
+    abfs, arrow, dask, dropbox, fuse, gcs, git, github, hdfs, http, oci, s3,
+    sftp, smb, ssh.
+
+Launch with Non-Standard Instance Name
+--------------------------------------
+
+By default, Responder will acquire an ``responder.API`` instance using the
+symbol name ``api`` from the specified Python module.
+
+If your main application file uses a different name than ``api``, please
+append the designated symbol name to the launch target address.
+
+It works like this for module entrypoints and local files:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    responder run acme.app:service
+    responder run /path/to/acme/app.py:service
+
+It works like this for URLs:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    responder run http://app.server.local/path/to/acme/app.py#service
+
+Within your ``app.py``, the instance would have been defined to use
+the ``service`` symbol name instead of ``api``, like this:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    service = responder.API()
+
+Build JavaScript Application
+----------------------------
+
+The ``build`` subcommand invokes ``npm run build``, optionally accepting
+a target directory. By default, it uses the current working directory,
+where it expects a regular NPM ``package.json`` file.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    responder build
+
+When specifying a target directory, Responder will change to that
+directory beforehand.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    responder build /path/to/project

+Deployment
+==========
+
+Responder applications are standard ASGI apps. You can deploy them anywhere
+you'd deploy a Python web service.
+
+
+Running Locally
+---------------
+
+The simplest way to run your application::
+
+    # api.py
+    import responder
+
+    api = responder.API()
+
+    @api.route("/")
+    def hello(req, resp):
+        resp.text = "hello, world!"
+
+    if __name__ == "__main__":
+        api.run()
+
+This starts a production uvicorn server on ``127.0.0.1:5042``.
+
+
+Docker
+------
+
+A minimal Dockerfile for deploying a Responder application::
+
+    FROM python:3.13-slim
+    WORKDIR /app
+    COPY . .
+    RUN pip install responder
+    ENV PORT=80
+    EXPOSE 80
+    CMD ["python", "api.py"]
+
+Build and run::
+
+    $ docker build -t myapi .
+    $ docker run -p 8000:80 myapi
+
+
+Cloud Platforms
+---------------
+
+Responder automatically honors the ``PORT`` environment variable, which is
+set by most cloud platforms. When ``PORT`` is set, Responder binds to
+``0.0.0.0`` on that port automatically.
+
+This works out of the box with:
+
+- **Fly.io**
+- **Railway**
+- **Render**
+- **Google Cloud Run**
+- **Azure Container Apps**
+- **AWS App Runner**
+
+Just deploy your code and set the start command to ``python api.py``.
+
+
+Uvicorn Directly
+----------------
+
+For more control over the production server, you can bypass ``api.run()``
+and use uvicorn directly::
+
+    $ uvicorn api:api --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --workers 4
+
+This gives you access to all of uvicorn's options: worker count, SSL
+certificates, access logging, and more. See the
+`uvicorn documentation <https://www.uvicorn.org/>`_ for details.
+
+
+Reverse Proxy
+-------------
+
+In production, you may want to place Responder behind a reverse proxy like
+nginx or Caddy for SSL termination, load balancing, or serving static assets.
+
+Responder's ``TrustedHostMiddleware`` and ``HTTPSRedirectMiddleware`` work
+correctly behind proxies that set standard forwarding headers.

+Responder
+=========
+
+A familiar HTTP Service Framework for Python.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+   import responder
+
+   api = responder.API()
+
+   @api.route("/{greeting}")
+   async def greet_world(req, resp, *, greeting):
+       resp.text = f"{greeting}, world!"
+
+   if __name__ == '__main__':
+       api.run()
+
+Powered by `Starlette`_ and `uvicorn`_. The ``async`` is optional.
+
+
+The Idea
+--------
+
+Responder takes the best ideas from `Flask`_ and `Falcon`_ and brings them
+together into one clean framework.
+
+The request and response objects are passed into every view and mutated
+directly — no return values, no boilerplate. If you've used Requests,
+you'll feel right at home. If you've used Flask, the routing will look
+familiar. If you've used Falcon, the ``req`` / ``resp`` pattern will
+click immediately.
+
+- ``resp.text`` sends back text. ``resp.html`` sends back HTML.
+- ``resp.media`` sends back JSON — or YAML, if the client asks for it.
+- ``resp.file("path")`` serves a file. ``resp.content`` sends raw bytes.
+- ``req.headers`` is case-insensitive. ``req.params`` holds query parameters.
+- ``resp.status_code``, ``req.method``, ``req.url`` — the usual suspects.
+
+Content negotiation happens automatically. Set ``resp.media`` to a dict
+and Responder figures out the rest.
+
+Responder and `FastAPI`_ share DNA — both are built on Starlette, both
+appeared around the same time, and both pushed Python's ASGI ecosystem
+forward. FastAPI went deep on type annotations and automatic validation.
+Responder went for a mutable request/response pattern and a simpler,
+more familiar API. Both projects are better for the other existing, and
+you should use whichever feels right for what you're building.
+
+
+What You Get
+------------
+
+One ``pip install``, batteries included:
+
+- Mount Flask, Django, or any WSGI/ASGI app at a subroute.
+- Gzip compression, HSTS, CORS, and trusted host validation.
+- Before-request hooks that can short-circuit for auth guards.
+- A test client for fast, in-process testing with pytest.
+- Route parameters with f-string syntax and type convertors.
+- Lifespan context managers for startup and shutdown logic.
+- Custom exception handlers for clean error responses.
+- `GraphQL`_ with Graphene and a built-in GraphiQL IDE.
+- File serving with automatic content-type detection.
+- Sync and async views — ``async`` is always optional.
+- Class-based views with ``on_get``, ``on_post``, ``on_request``.
+- A pleasant API with a single import statement.
+- OpenAPI schema generation with Swagger UI.
+- A production `uvicorn`_ server, ready to deploy.
+- HTTP method filtering for REST APIs.
+- Signed cookie-based sessions.
+- Background tasks in a thread pool.
+- WebSocket support.
+

+Quick Start
+===========
+
+This guide will walk you through the basics of building a web service with
+Responder. By the end, you'll know how to declare routes, handle requests,
+send responses, render templates, and process background tasks.
+
+
+Create a Web Service
+--------------------
+
+The first thing you need to do is declare a web service. This is the central
+object that holds all your routes, middleware, and configuration::
+
+    import responder
+
+    api = responder.API()
+
+
+Hello World
+-----------
+
+Next, add a route. Here, we'll make the root URL say "hello, world!"::
+
+    @api.route("/")
+    def hello_world(req, resp):
+        resp.text = "hello, world!"
+
+Every view receives a ``req`` (request) and ``resp`` (response) object. You
+don't need to return anything — just mutate the response directly.
+
+
+Run the Server
+--------------
+
+Start your web service with ``api.run()``::
+
+    api.run()
+
+This spins up a production-grade uvicorn server on port ``5042``, ready for
+incoming HTTP requests.
+
+You can customize the port with ``api.run(port=8000)``. The ``PORT``
+environment variable is also honored automatically — when set, Responder
+binds to ``0.0.0.0`` on that port, which is what cloud platforms like
+Fly.io, Railway, and Google Cloud Run expect.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Both sync and async views are supported. The ``async`` keyword is always
+   optional — use it when you need to ``await`` something.
+
+
+Route Parameters
+----------------
+
+If you want dynamic URLs, use Python's familiar f-string syntax to declare
+variables in your routes::
+
+    @api.route("/hello/{who}")
+    def hello_to(req, resp, *, who):
+        resp.text = f"hello, {who}!"
+
+A ``GET`` request to ``/hello/world`` will respond with ``hello, world!``.
+
+Route parameters are passed as keyword-only arguments (after the ``*``).
+
+
+Type Convertors
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can constrain route parameters to specific types. The parameter will be
+automatically converted before it reaches your view::
+
+    @api.route("/add/{a:int}/{b:int}")
+    async def add(req, resp, *, a, b):
+        resp.text = f"{a} + {b} = {a + b}"
+
+Supported types:
+
+- ``str`` — matches any string without slashes (default)
+- ``int`` — matches digits, converts to ``int``
+- ``float`` — matches decimal numbers, converts to ``float``
+- ``uuid`` — matches UUID strings like ``550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000``
+- ``path`` — matches any string *including* slashes, useful for file paths
+
+
+Sending Responses
+-----------------
+
+Responder gives you several ways to send data back to the client. Just set
+the appropriate property on the response object.
+
+**Text and HTML**::
+
+    resp.text = "plain text response"
+    resp.html = "<h1>HTML response</h1>"
+
+**JSON** — the most common pattern for APIs. Set ``resp.media`` to any
+JSON-serializable Python object::
+
+    @api.route("/hello/{who}/json")
+    def hello_json(req, resp, *, who):
+        resp.media = {"hello": who}
+
+If the client sends an ``Accept: application/x-yaml`` header, the same data
+will be returned as YAML instead. Content negotiation is automatic.
+
+**Files** — serve a file from disk with automatic content-type detection::
+
+    resp.file("reports/annual.pdf")
+
+**Raw bytes**::
+
+    resp.content = b"\x89PNG\r\n..."
+
+**Status codes and headers**::
+
+    resp.status_code = 201
+    resp.headers["X-Custom"] = "value"
+
+**Redirects**::
+
+    api.redirect(resp, location="/new-url")
+
+
+Reading Requests
+----------------
+
+The request object gives you access to everything the client sent.
+
+**Method and URL**::
+
+    req.method      # "get", "post", etc. (lowercase)
+    req.full_url    # "http://example.com/path?q=1"
+    req.url         # parsed URL object
+
+**Headers** — case-insensitive, just like you'd expect::
+
+    req.headers["Content-Type"]
+    req.headers["content-type"]  # same thing
+
+**Query parameters**::
+
+    # GET /search?q=python&page=2
+    req.params["q"]     # "python"
+    req.params["page"]  # "2"
+
+**Path parameters** — also available on the request object::
+
+    req.path_params["user_id"]  # same as the keyword argument
+
+**Request body** — for POST/PUT/PATCH requests, you need to ``await`` the
+body content::
+
+    # JSON body
+    data = await req.media()
+
+    # Form data
+    data = await req.media("form")
+
+    # File uploads
+    files = await req.media("files")
+
+    # Raw bytes
+    body = await req.content
+
+    # Raw text
+    text = await req.text
+
+**Other useful properties**::
+
+    req.is_json     # True if content type is JSON
+    req.cookies     # dict of cookies
+    req.session     # session data (dict)
+    req.client      # (host, port) tuple
+    req.is_secure   # True if HTTPS
+
+
+Rendering Templates
+-------------------
+
+Responder includes built-in `Jinja2 <https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/>`_
+support. Templates are loaded from the ``templates/`` directory by default.
+
+The simplest way is to use ``api.template()``::
+
+    @api.route("/hello/{name}/html")
+    def hello_html(req, resp, *, name):
+        resp.html = api.template("hello.html", name=name)
+
+You can also use the ``Templates`` class directly for more control::
+
+    from responder.templates import Templates
+
+    templates = Templates(directory="templates")
+
+    @api.route("/page")
+    def page(req, resp):
+        resp.html = templates.render("page.html", title="Hello")
+
+Async rendering is supported too::
+
+    templates = Templates(directory="templates", enable_async=True)
+    resp.html = await templates.render_async("page.html", title="Hello")
+
+You can render template strings without a file::
+
+    resp.html = api.template_string("Hello, {{ name }}!", name="world")
+
+
+Background Tasks
+----------------
+
+Sometimes you want to accept a request, respond immediately, and do the
+actual processing later. Responder makes this easy with background tasks::
+
+    @api.route("/incoming")
+    async def receive_incoming(req, resp):
+        data = await req.media()
+
+        @api.background.task
+        def process_data(data):
+            """This runs in a background thread."""
+            import time
+            time.sleep(10)  # simulate heavy work
+
+        process_data(data)
+
+        # Respond immediately — processing continues in the background
+        resp.media = {"status": "accepted"}
+
+The ``@api.background.task`` decorator wraps any function to run in a thread
+pool. The client gets an immediate response while the work continues.

+Testing
+=======
+
+Responder includes a built-in test client powered by Starlette's
+``TestClient``. You don't need to start a server — tests run in-process,
+making them fast and reliable.
+
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+Given a simple application in ``api.py``::
+
+    import responder
+
+    api = responder.API()
+
+    @api.route("/")
+    def hello(req, resp):
+        resp.text = "hello, world!"
+
+    if __name__ == "__main__":
+        api.run()
+
+You can test it with pytest::
+
+    # test_api.py
+    import api as service
+
+    def test_hello():
+        r = service.api.requests.get("/")
+        assert r.text == "hello, world!"
+
+Run your tests::
+
+    $ pytest
+
+
+Using Fixtures
+--------------
+
+For larger test suites, use pytest fixtures to share the API instance
+across tests::
+
+    import pytest
+    import api as service
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def api():
+        return service.api
+
+    def test_hello(api):
+        r = api.requests.get("/")
+        assert r.text == "hello, world!"
+
+    def test_json(api):
+        @api.route("/data")
+        def data(req, resp):
+            resp.media = {"key": "value"}
+
+        r = api.requests.get(api.url_for(data))
+        assert r.json() == {"key": "value"}
+
+The ``api.url_for()`` method generates a URL for a given route endpoint,
+so you don't have to hard-code paths in your tests.
+
+
+Testing JSON APIs
+-----------------
+
+Send JSON data and check the response::
+
+    def test_create_item(api):
+        @api.route("/items")
+        async def create(req, resp):
+            data = await req.media()
+            resp.media = {"created": data}
+            resp.status_code = 201
+
+        r = api.requests.post(api.url_for(create), json={"name": "widget"})
+        assert r.status_code == 201
+        assert r.json() == {"created": {"name": "widget"}}
+
+
+Testing File Uploads
+--------------------
+
+Send files using the ``files`` parameter::
+
+    def test_upload(api):
+        @api.route("/upload")
+        async def upload(req, resp):
+            files = await req.media("files")
+            resp.media = {"received": list(files.keys())}
+
+        files = {"doc": ("report.pdf", b"content", "application/pdf")}
+        r = api.requests.post(api.url_for(upload), files=files)
+        assert r.json() == {"received": ["doc"]}
+
+
+Testing WebSockets
+------------------
+
+Use Starlette's ``TestClient`` directly for WebSocket connections::
+
+    from starlette.testclient import TestClient
+
+    def test_websocket(api):
+        @api.route("/ws", websocket=True)
+        async def ws(ws):
+            await ws.accept()
+            await ws.send_text("hello")
+            await ws.close()
+
+        client = TestClient(api)
+        with client.websocket_connect("/ws") as ws:
+            assert ws.receive_text() == "hello"
+
+
+Testing Error Handling
+----------------------
+
+To test error responses without pytest raising the exception, disable
+server exception propagation::
+
+    from starlette.testclient import TestClient
+
+    def test_500(api):
+        @api.route("/fail")
+        def fail(req, resp):
+            raise ValueError("something broke")
+
+        client = TestClient(api, raise_server_exceptions=False)
+        r = client.get(api.url_for(fail))
+        assert r.status_code == 500
+
+
+Testing Lifespan Events
+-----------------------
+
+The test client supports lifespan events. Use ``with`` to ensure startup
+and shutdown hooks run::
+
+    def test_with_lifespan(api):
+        started = {"value": False}
+
+        @api.on_event("startup")
+        async def on_startup():
+            started["value"] = True

+Feature Tour
+============
+
+This section walks through Responder's features in detail. Each section
+includes working code examples you can copy into your application.
+
+
+Method Filtering
+----------------
+
+By default, a route matches all HTTP methods. If you want to restrict a
+route to specific methods, pass the ``methods`` parameter::
+
+    @api.route("/items", methods=["GET"])
+    def list_items(req, resp):
+        resp.media = {"items": []}
+
+    @api.route("/items", methods=["POST"], check_existing=False)
+    async def create_item(req, resp):
+        data = await req.media()
+        resp.media = {"created": data}
+
+Note the ``check_existing=False`` — this allows you to register multiple
+handlers for the same path with different methods.
+
+
+Class-Based Views
+-----------------
+
+For more complex resources, you can use class-based views. Responder will
+dispatch to the appropriate method handler based on the HTTP method::
+
+    @api.route("/{greeting}")
+    class GreetingResource:
+        def on_get(self, req, resp, *, greeting):
+            resp.text = f"{greeting}, world!"
+
+        def on_post(self, req, resp, *, greeting):
+            resp.media = {"received": greeting}
+
+        def on_request(self, req, resp, *, greeting):
+            """Called on EVERY request, before the method-specific handler."""
+            resp.headers["X-Greeting"] = greeting
+
+The ``on_request`` method is called for all HTTP methods, much like
+middleware scoped to a single route. Method-specific handlers (``on_get``,
+``on_post``, ``on_put``, ``on_delete``, etc.) are called after.
+
+No inheritance required — just define a class with the right method names.
+
+
+Lifespan Events
+---------------
+
+Modern applications often need to set up resources on startup (database
+connections, caches, ML models) and tear them down on shutdown. Responder
+supports the lifespan context manager pattern::
+
+    from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
+
+    @asynccontextmanager
+    async def lifespan(app):
+        # Startup — runs before the first request
+        print("connecting to database...")
+        yield
+        # Shutdown — runs after the server stops
+        print("closing connections...")
+
+    api = responder.API(lifespan=lifespan)
+
+You can also use the traditional event decorator style::
+
+    @api.on_event("startup")
+    async def startup():
+        print("starting up")
+
+    @api.on_event("shutdown")
+    async def shutdown():
+        print("shutting down")
+
+The context manager approach is preferred for new code — it makes the
+startup/shutdown relationship explicit and keeps related code together.
+
+
+Serving Files
+-------------
+
+Serve files from disk with automatic content-type detection. Responder
+uses Python's ``mimetypes`` module to figure out the right ``Content-Type``
+header for you::
+
+    @api.route("/download")
+    def download(req, resp):
+        resp.file("reports/annual.pdf")
+
+You can override the content type if needed::
+
+    @api.route("/image")
+    def image(req, resp):
+        resp.file("photos/cat.jpg", content_type="image/jpeg")
+
+
+Custom Error Handling
+---------------------
+
+By default, unhandled exceptions result in a 500 Internal Server Error.
+You can register custom handlers for specific exception types to return
+structured error responses::
+
+    @api.exception_handler(ValueError)
+    async def handle_value_error(req, resp, exc):
+        resp.status_code = 400
+        resp.media = {"error": str(exc)}
+
+Now, any route that raises a ``ValueError`` will return a clean 400 response
+with a JSON error message instead of a generic 500 page.
+
+
+Before-Request Hooks
+--------------------
+
+Run code before every request. This is useful for logging, adding common
+headers, or setting up per-request state::
+
+    @api.route(before_request=True)
+    def add_headers(req, resp):
+        resp.headers["X-API-Version"] = "3.1"
+
+**Short-circuiting:** If your hook sets ``resp.status_code``, the route
+handler will be skipped entirely and the response will be sent immediately.
+This is the pattern for authentication guards::
+
+    @api.route(before_request=True)
+    def auth_check(req, resp):
+        if "Authorization" not in req.headers:
+            resp.status_code = 401
+            resp.media = {"error": "unauthorized"}
+
+If the ``Authorization`` header is missing, the client gets a 401 response
+and the actual route handler never runs.
+
+WebSocket hooks work the same way::
+
+    @api.before_request(websocket=True)
+    async def ws_auth(ws):
+        await ws.accept()
+
+
+WebSocket Support
+-----------------
+
+Responder supports WebSockets for real-time, bidirectional communication::
+
+    @api.route("/ws", websocket=True)
+    async def websocket(ws):
+        await ws.accept()
+        while True:
+            name = await ws.receive_text()
+            await ws.send_text(f"Hello {name}!")
+        await ws.close()
+
+You can send and receive in multiple formats:
+
+- ``send_text`` / ``receive_text`` — plain text
+- ``send_json`` / ``receive_json`` — JSON objects
+- ``send_bytes`` / ``receive_bytes`` — raw binary data
+
+
+GraphQL
+-------
+
+Responder includes built-in GraphQL support via
+`Graphene <https://graphene-python.org/>`_. Set up a full GraphQL endpoint
+with a single method call::
+
+    import graphene
+
+    class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
+        hello = graphene.String(name=graphene.String(default_value="stranger"))
+
+        def resolve_hello(self, info, name):
+            return f"Hello {name}"
+
+    api.graphql("/graphql", schema=graphene.Schema(query=Query))
+
+Visiting ``/graphql`` in a browser renders the GraphiQL interactive IDE,
+where you can explore your schema and test queries. Programmatic clients
+can POST JSON queries to the same endpoint.
+
+You can access the Responder request and response objects in your resolvers
+through ``info.context["request"]`` and ``info.context["response"]``.
+
+
+OpenAPI Documentation
+---------------------
+
+Responder can generate an OpenAPI schema and serve interactive API
+documentation automatically::
+
+    api = responder.API(
+        title="Pet Store",
+        version="1.0",
+        openapi="3.0.2",
+        docs_route="/docs",
+    )
+
+This gives you:
+
+- An OpenAPI schema at ``/schema.yml``
+- Interactive Swagger UI documentation at ``/docs``
+
+There are three ways to document your endpoints.
+
+**Pydantic models** — the recommended approach for new APIs. Use
+``request_model`` and ``response_model`` to annotate your routes, and
+Responder will generate the schema automatically::
+
+    from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+    class PetIn(BaseModel):
+        name: str
+        age: int = 0
+
+    class PetOut(BaseModel):
+        id: int
+        name: str
+        age: int
+
+    @api.route("/pets", methods=["POST"],
+               request_model=PetIn, response_model=PetOut)
+    async def create_pet(req, resp):
+        data = await req.media()
+        resp.media = {"id": 1, **data}
+
+This generates a full OpenAPI path with ``requestBody`` and ``responses``
+schemas, all linked by ``$ref`` to your Pydantic models in
+``components/schemas``.
+
+You can also register standalone schemas with the ``@api.schema`` decorator::
+
+    @api.schema("Pet")
+    class Pet(BaseModel):
+        name: str
+        age: int = 0
+
+**YAML docstrings** — inline your OpenAPI spec directly in the docstring.
+This gives you full control over every detail::
+
+    @api.route("/pets")
+    def list_pets(req, resp):
+        """A list of pets.
+        ---
+        get:
+            description: Get all pets
+            responses:
+                200:
+                    description: A list of pets
+        """
+        resp.media = [{"name": "Fido"}]
+
+**Marshmallow schemas** — if you're already using marshmallow for
+validation, Responder integrates with it via the apispec plugin::
+
+    from marshmallow import Schema, fields
+
+    @api.schema("Pet")
+    class PetSchema(Schema):
+        name = fields.Str()
+
+All three approaches can be mixed in the same API. Pydantic models,
+marshmallow schemas, and YAML docstrings all contribute to the same
+generated OpenAPI specification.
+
+You can choose from multiple documentation themes:
+``swagger_ui`` (default), ``redoc``, ``rapidoc``, or ``elements``.
+
+
+Mounting Other Apps
+-------------------
+
+Responder can mount any WSGI or ASGI application at a subroute. This means
+you can gradually migrate from Flask, or run multiple frameworks side by side::
+
+    from flask import Flask
+
+    flask_app = Flask(__name__)
+
+    @flask_app.route("/")
+    def hello():
+        return "Hello from Flask!"
+
+    api.mount("/flask", flask_app)
+
+Requests to ``/flask/`` will be handled by Flask. Everything else goes
+through Responder. Both WSGI and ASGI apps are supported — Responder
+wraps WSGI apps automatically.
+
+
+Cookies
+-------
+
+Reading and writing cookies is straightforward::
+
+    # Read cookies from the request
+    session_id = req.cookies.get("session_id")
+
+    # Set a cookie on the response
+    resp.cookies["hello"] = "world"
+
+For more control over cookie directives, use ``set_cookie``::
+
+    resp.set_cookie(
+        "token",
+        value="abc123",
+        max_age=3600,
+        secure=True,
+        httponly=True,
+        path="/",
+    )
+
+Supported directives: ``key``, ``value``, ``expires``, ``max_age``,
+``domain``, ``path``, ``secure``, ``httponly``.
+
+
+Cookie-Based Sessions
+---------------------
+
+Responder has built-in support for signed, cookie-based sessions. Just
+read from and write to the ``session`` dictionary::
+
+    @api.route("/login")
+    def login(req, resp):
+        resp.session["username"] = "alice"
+
+    @api.route("/profile")
+    def profile(req, resp):
+        resp.media = {"user": req.session.get("username")}
+
+The session data is stored in a cookie called ``Responder-Session``. It's
+signed for tamper protection, so you can trust that the data originated
+from your server.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   For production use, always set a secret key::
+
+       api = responder.API(secret_key="your-secret-key-here")
+
+
+Static Files
+------------
+
+Static files are served from the ``static/`` directory by default::
+
+    api = responder.API(static_dir="static", static_route="/static")
+
+Place your CSS, JavaScript, images, and other assets in the ``static/``
+directory and they'll be served automatically.
+
+For single-page applications, you can serve ``index.html`` as the default
+response for all unmatched routes::
+
+    api.add_route("/", static=True)
+
+You can add additional static directories at runtime::
+
+    api.static_app.add_directory("extra_assets")
+
+
+CORS
+----
+
+Enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing for your API::
+
+    api = responder.API(cors=True, cors_params={
+        "allow_origins": ["https://example.com"],
+        "allow_methods": ["GET", "POST"],
+        "allow_headers": ["*"],
+        "allow_credentials": True,
+        "max_age": 600,
+    })
+
+The default CORS policy is restrictive — you must explicitly enable the
+origins, methods, and headers your frontend needs.
+
+
+HSTS
+----
+
+Force all traffic to HTTPS with a single flag::
+
+    api = responder.API(enable_hsts=True)
+
+This adds the ``Strict-Transport-Security`` header and redirects HTTP
+requests to HTTPS.
+
+
+Trusted Hosts
+-------------
+
+Protect against HTTP Host header attacks by restricting which hostnames
+your application will respond to::
+
+    api = responder.API(allowed_hosts=["example.com", "*.example.com"])
+
+Requests with a ``Host`` header that doesn't match any of the patterns
+will receive a 400 Bad Request response. Wildcard domains are supported.
+
+By default, all hostnames are allowed.
+
+
+Server-Sent Events (SSE)
+------------------------
+
+Stream real-time updates to the client using Server-Sent Events. This is
+great for live feeds, progress updates, and AI streaming responses::
+
+    @api.route("/events")
+    async def events(req, resp):
+        @resp.sse
+        async def stream():
+            for i in range(10):
+                yield {"data": f"message {i}"}
+
+Each yielded value can be a string (treated as data) or a dict with
+``data``, ``event``, ``id``, and ``retry`` fields::
+
+    yield {"event": "update", "data": "hello", "id": "1"}
+    yield "simple string message"
+
+
+Streaming Files
+---------------
+
+For large files, use ``resp.stream_file()`` to stream the content without
+loading the entire file into memory::
+
+    @api.route("/download")
+    def download(req, resp):
+        resp.stream_file("large-dataset.csv")
+
+For small files where memory isn't a concern, ``resp.file()`` loads the
+entire file at once — simpler but less efficient for large files.
+
+
+After-Request Hooks
+-------------------
+
+Run code after every request, useful for logging, adding headers, or
+cleanup::
+
+    @api.after_request()
+    def log_response(req, resp):
+        print(f"{req.method} {req.full_url} -> {resp.status_code}")
+
+
+Route Groups
+------------
+
+Organize related routes with a shared URL prefix. Useful for API versioning
+and logical grouping::
+
+    v1 = api.group("/v1")
+
+    @v1.route("/users")
+    def list_users(req, resp):
+        resp.media = []
+
+    @v1.route("/users/{user_id:int}")
+    def get_user(req, resp, *, user_id):
+        resp.media = {"id": user_id}
+
+
+Request ID
+----------
+
+Auto-generate unique request IDs for tracing and debugging. If the client
+sends an ``X-Request-ID`` header, it's forwarded; otherwise a new UUID is
+generated::
+
+    api = responder.API(request_id=True)
+
+
+Rate Limiting
+-------------
+
+Built-in token bucket rate limiter::
+
+    from responder.ext.ratelimit import RateLimiter
+
+    limiter = RateLimiter(requests=100, period=60)  # 100 req/min
+    limiter.install(api)
+
+When the limit is exceeded, clients receive a ``429 Too Many Requests``
+response with ``Retry-After`` and ``X-RateLimit-Remaining`` headers.
+
+
+MessagePack
+-----------
+
+In addition to JSON and YAML, Responder supports MessagePack for efficient
+binary serialization::
+
+    # Decode MessagePack request body
+    data = await req.media("msgpack")
+
+    # Content negotiation also works — clients can send
+    # Accept: application/x-msgpack to receive MessagePack responses.
