Pedro is a collection of small Scala network utilities with an emphasis on conciseness. Users will notice that each of the code modules is VERY small. We desire short, clear code for the purpose of instruction. One of the goals is also reduction of dependencies.

This servlet makes it extremely easy to set up a REST API without needing any big clumsy framework. Simply define your resources, the actions you wish to perform on them, and hook up to your business objest. It couldn't be easier.

It has immutable Element and Attribute types, for threadsafe sharing among modules. It also has projections similar to scala.xml's, for easy searching and grabbing data from XML chunks.
