Hello from the future!

I recently released a package just for that purpose, it’s called [Oxygen.jl](https://github.com/ndortega/Oxygen.jl). It’s a micro-framework built on top of the HTTP.jl library. The API itself was designed to closely resemble FastApi.

### Features

- Straightforward routing (`@get`, `@post`, `@put`, `@patch`, `@delete` and `@route` macros)
- Out-of-the-box JSON serialization & deserialization
- Optional type definition support for Path parameters
- Helper functions to parse & transform the body of requests & responses
- Hosting static files
- Built-in multithreading support

In the future, it may not always depend on HTTP.jl. I have some ambitious ideas which may include replacing HTTP.jl with a rewrite of starlette in julia. But for the time being, I’m focusing more on practical and developer-focused features to add to the framework
