Scala Webapp Utilities

Build Status Latest Version

This library was initially extracted (with permission) from the closed-source ShipReq where it when through many evolutions, and was battled-tested on a real-world, large and complex project. It was ported without git commit history, so please understand that in this case, the low commit count is not an indication of immaturity.
