Introducing vweb

In the previous chapter, we learned about the orm and json libraries. Now, we will use the vweb library to build a microservice that performs Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on a simple database table. The vweb library is a built-in library that ships along with V. It is a simple yet powerful web server with built-in routing, parameter handling, and comes with a templating engine. At the time of writing, vweb is an alpha-level software. Therefore, some of the features might not be complete. However, with vweb in its current state, nothing is stopping us from building a microservice using the RESTful approach.

The vweb library has the following features:

• It has a very fast performance, which is similar to that of C, on the web.
• It is easier to deploy an application built with vweb since it is just one binary file including all templates. There is no need to install dependencies.
• The templates are precompiled, so all errors are visible...
