        Hug aims to make developing Python driven APIs as simple as possible,
        but no simpler. As a result, it drastically simplifies Python API
        development.
        
        Hug's Design Objectives:
        
        -  Make developing a Python driven API as succinct as a written
           definition.
        -  The framework should encourage code that self-documents.
        -  It should be fast. Never should a developer feel the need to look
           somewhere else for performance reasons.
        -  Writing tests for APIs written on-top of Hug should be easy and
           intuitive.
        -  Magic done once, in an API framework, is better then pushing the
           problem set to the user of the API framework.
        -  Be the basis for next generation Python APIs, embracing the latest
           technology.
        
        As a result of these goals Hug is Python3+ only and uses Falcon under
        the cover to quickly handle requests.
        
        |HUG Hello World Example|
        
        Installing Hug
        ==============
        
        Installing Hug is as simple as:
        
        ::
        
            pip3 install hug --upgrade
        
        Ideally, within a virtual environment.
        
        Basic Example API
        =================
        
        happy\_birthday.py
        
        ::
        
            """A basic (single function) API written using Hug"""
            import hug
        
        
            @hug.get('/happy_birthday')
            def happy_birthday(name, age:hug.types.number=1):
                """Says happy birthday to a user"""
                return "Happy {age} Birthday {name}!".format(**locals())
        
        To run the example:
        
        ::
        
            hug -f happy_birthday.py
        
        Then you can access the example from
        localhost:8000/happy\_birthday?name=Hug&age=1 Or access the
        documentation for your API from localhost:8000/documentation
        
        Versioning with Hug
        ===================
        
        versioning\_example.py
        
        ::
        
            """A simple example of a hug API call with versioning"""
        
        
            @hug.get('/echo', versions=1)
            def echo(text):
                return text
        
        
            @hug.get('/echo', versions=range(2, 5))
            def echo(text):
                return "Echo: {text}".format(**locals())
        
        To run the example:
        
        ::
        
            hug -f versioning_example.py
        
        Then you can access the example from localhost:8000/v1/echo?text=Hi /
        localhost:8000/v2/echo?text=Hi Or access the documentation for your API
        from localhost:8000
        
        Note: versioning in Hug automatically supports both the version header
        as well as direct URL based specification.
        
        Testing Hug APIs
        ================
        
        Hugs http method decorators don't modify your original functions. This
        makes testing Hug APIs as simple as testing any other Python functions.
        Additionally, this means interacting with your API functions in other
        Python code is as straight forward as calling Python only API functions.
        Additionally, Hug makes it easy to test the full Python stack of your
        API by using the hug.test module:
        
        ::
        
            import hug
            import happy_birthday
        
            hug.test.get(happy_birthday, 'happy_birthday', {'name': 'Timothy', 'age': 25}) # Returns a Response object
        
        Running Hug with other WSGI based servers
        =========================================
        
        Hug exposes a ``__hug_wsgi__`` magic method on every API module
        automatically. Running your Hug based API on any standard wsgi server
        should be as simple as pointing it to module\_name:\ ``__hug_wsgi__``.
        
        For Example:
        
        ::
        
            uwsgi --http 0.0.0.0:8000 --wsgi-file examples/hello_world.py --callable __hug_wsgi__
        
        To run the hello world Hug example API.
        
        Building Blocks of a Hug API
        ============================
        
        When Building an API using the Hug framework you'll use the following
        concepts:
        
        **METHOD Decorators** get, post, update, etc HTTP method decorators that
        expose your Python function as an API while keeping your Python method
        unchanged
        
        ::
        
            @hug.get() # <- Is the Hug METHOD decorator
            def hello_world():
                return "Hello"
        
        Hug uses the structure of the function you decorate to automatically
        generate documentation for users of your API. Hug always passes a
        request, response, and api\_version variable to your function if they
        are defined params in your function definition.
        
        **Type Annotations** functions that optionally are attached to your
        methods arguments to specify how the argument is validated and converted
        into a Python type
        
        ::
        
            @hug.get()
            def math(number_1:int, number_2:int): #The :int after both arguments is the Type Annotation
                return number_1 + number_2
        
        Type annotations also feed into Hug's automatic documentation generation
        to let users of your API know what data to supply.
        
        **Directives** functions that get executed with the request / response
        data based on being requested as an argument in your api\_function
        
        ::
        
            @hug.get()
            def test_time(hug_timer):
                return {'time_taken': float(hug_timer)}
        
        Directives are always prefixed with 'hug\_'. Adding your own directives
        is straight forward:
        
        ::
        
            @hug.directive()
            def multiply(default=1, **all_info):
                '''Returns passed in parameter multiplied by itself'''
                return default * default
        
            @hug.get()
            def tester(hug_multiply=10):
                return hug_multiply
        
            tester() == 100
        
        **Output Formatters** a function that takes the output of your API
        function and formats it for transport to the user of the API.
        
        ::
        
            @hug.default_output_format()
            def my_output_formatter(data):
                return "STRING:{0}".format(data)
        
            @hug.get(output=hug.output_format.json)
            def hello():
                return {'hello': 'world'}
        
        as shown, you can easily change the output format for both an entire API
        as well as an individual API call
        
        **Input Formatters** a function that takes the body of data given from a
        user of your API and formats it for handling.
        
        ::
        
            @hug.default_input_formatter("application/json")
            def my_input_formatter(data):
                return ('Results', hug.input_format.json(data))
        
        Input formatters are mapped based on the content\_type of the request
        data, and only perform basic parsing. More detailed parsing should be
        done by the Type Annotations present on your api\_function
        
        **Middleware** functions that get called for every request a Hug API
        processes
        
        ::
        
            @hug.request_middleware()
            def proccess_data(request, response):
                request.env['SERVER_NAME'] = 'changed'
        
            @hug.response_middleware()
            def proccess_data(request, response, resource):
                response.set_header('MyHeader', 'Value')
        
        You can also easily add any Falcon style middleware using:
        
        ::
        
            __hug__.add_middleware(MiddlewareObject())
        
        Splitting APIs over multiple files
        ==================================
        
        Hug enables you to organize large projects in any manner you see fit.
        You can import any module that contains Hug decorated functions (request
        handling, directives, type handlers, etc) and extend your base API with
        that module.
        
        For example:
        
        ``something.py``
        
        ::
        
            import hug
        
            @hug.get('/')
            def say_hi():
                return 'hello from something'
        
        Can be imported into the main API file:
        
        ``__init__.py``
        
        ::
        
            import hug
            from . import something
        
            @hug.get('/')
            def say_hi():
                return "Hi from root"
        
            @hug.extend_api('/something')
            def something_api():
                return [something]
        
        Or alternatively - for cases like this - where only one module is being
        included per a URL route:
        
        ::
        
            #alternatively
            __hug__.extend(something, '/something')
        
        Configuring Hug 404
        ===================
        
        By default, Hug returns an auto generated API spec when a user tries to
        access an endpoint that isn't defined. If you would not like to return
        this spec you can turn off 404 documentation:
        
        From the command line application:
        
        hug -nd -f {file} #nd flag tells Hug not to generate documentation on
        404
        
        Additionally, you can easily create a custom 404 handler using the
        ``hug.not_found`` decorator:
        
        ::
        
            @hug.not_found()
            def not_found_handler():
                return "Not Found"
        
        This decorator works in the same manner as the Hug HTTP method
        decorators, and is even version aware:
        
        ::
        
            @hug.not_found(versions=1)
            def not_found_handler():
                return ""
        
            @hug.not_found(versions=2)
            def not_found_handler():
                return "Not Found"
