## Notes

Zap is a microframework for web applications written in Zig. It wraps and patches the facil.io C library to serve HTTP from Zig, and the README includes a mustache templating example.

Zap is added to a Zig project with `zig fetch` and a dependency in `build.zig`.

## Worth knowing

The repository is archived. Its README names Baz, a Zig successor built on bounded/http, as the alternative on the way. The README also says Zap does not work on Windows, with WSL2 or a container as the way around.
