@title[#:tag "web-server-ref"]{Web Applications in Racket}
@author{Jay McCarthy}
This manual describes the Racket libraries for building Web applications.
@secref["run"] describes how to run the servlets you've written.
@secref["servlet"] and @secref["stateless"] describe two ways to write Web applications.
@secref["servlet"] use the entire Racket language, but their continuations are stored in the Web server's memory.
@secref["stateless"] use a slightly restricted Racket language, but their continuation can be stored by the Web client or on a Web server's disk. If you can, you want to use @secref["stateless"] for the improved scalability.
The @secref["http"] section describes the common library functions for manipulating HTTP requests and creating HTTP responses.
In particular, this section covers cookies, authentication, and request bindings.
The final five sections (@secref["dispatch"], @secref["formlets"], @secref["templates"], @secref["page"], and @secref["test"]) cover utility libraries that ease the creation of typical Web applications.
This manual closes with a frequently asked questions section: @secref["faq"].
