About

Brook for Free Pascal is the perfect Free Pascal framework for web applications. It's pure Pascal. You don't need to leave your preferred programming language.

It's complete: simple actions or configurable actions for database access, advanced routing features, wizard for Lazarus, support for internationalization, high compatibility with JSON structures, easy and elegant REST implementation, plugins for varied needs, extensible and decoupled brokers... In fact, you have several reasons to adopt Brook as your web development framework.

  • JSON native supportJSON is widespread in the web for data exchange purposes. You will really appreciate Brooks' good JSON support.
  • REST architecture supportREST is an architecture able to simplify and standardize data requests and replies. Brook is powerful even if you don't use REST – but you will want to use it.
