If you were to create a Web API today from scratch how would you do it ?
Backend: Most likely it would be a toss between https://saturnframework.org or https://giraffe.wiki. They both combins the extremely good type system in F# combined with the ease of a minimal API.

Is it possible to run C# asp.net core MVC and f# giraffe in a single solution
I was wondering if its possible to simultaneously run a C# core MVC project in combination with https://github.com/giraffe-fsharp/Giraffe

Overriding JSON serializer in Giraffe
By default Giraffe, the framework which I use as a web server, uses Newtonsoft.Json to serialize results to JSON. However, for discriminated union, it generates quite a lot of JSON so I've switched to System.Text.Json which is built into newer versions of .Net Core. In combination with FSharp.SystemTextJson package allows serializing discriminated unions more gracefully. All we need is to decorate Branch type with JsonFSharpConverter(JsonUnionEncoding.BareFieldlessTags) attribute.

Introducing Giraffe.Htmx
Giraffe is a library that sits atop ASP.NET Core and allows developers to build web applications in a functional style; dotnet new giraffe is literally my starting point when I begin a new web application project. (Rather than write three more sentences filled with effusive praise, I’ll just leave it at that; it’s great.) It also provides a view engine (that builds upon Suave‘s “experimental” view engine) which uses an F# DSL to define HTML in a strongly-typed way. It has been incredibly efficient for a while, but with .NET’s work over the past two releases at improving performance, and Giraffe’s adoption of those techniques, it is lightning fast.

Show HN: F# web server in 3-4 lines of code
Wrapping ASP.NET Core to be easier and more idiomatic with F# seems to be a common domain. Out of curiosity, did you look at any existing projects? If so, what was lacking from them that made you decide to write WebFrame?
You don't have to use asp.net directly in F# - there's been a long-standing library wrapping it in a more functional aesthetic with Giraffe: https://github.com/giraffe-fsharp/Giraffe
Not to discourage you or anything - always good to see alternatives. Personally, for FP web programming, the closer to the "your server as a function" ideal the better - so I'd prefer Giraffe in this case, for things like the router being an HttpHandler instead of being a property on the app. It's just way more intuitive from an FP standpoint and produces neater, more self-contained code, IMO.

What I wish I knew when learning F#
I was thinking as a strategy that would impact the way all libraries are build. In my example I posted above, there is no dotnet code showing. Its all abstracted. Libraries should create new APIs that are just wrappers around the dotnet library.
Whereas, if you look at the examples in the Giraffe framework, you need to do a bunch of dotnet boilerplate. https://github.com/giraffe-fsharp/Giraffe#doing-it-manually

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (31/2021)!
I'm looking for a web framework that's built around composability. Specifically, I'm thinking of something along the lines of the "Your Server as a Function" paradigm: good examples are OCaml's Dream, Kotlin's http4k and F#'s Giraffe. I looked this up and in an earlier post someone mentioned Actix. Apart from actix, is there any other framework like this that generally stays out of your way?
