[Caml-list] OCaml and the web

[konrad]

Hello List,

I already read something about ocaml and web programming. Do some of you have experiences with:

- ocaml as scripting language as cgi as an apache module
- any other possibility to use ocaml for web programming (a.e. an extendable ocaml webserver)

Thanks for any hints or links to tutorials or further information.

chris

Great, thanks for that.

Hi,

COCAN have collected links to previous discussion threads [1] on this topic as
well as some preliminary comparison [2].

Thanks for all of that.

Did somebody of you already experience "web-programming" with ocaml? Are there webpages that are created with an ocaml backend? Is it convenient and flexible? I would like to try that to gain all to benefits from ocaml even for the web programming.

Yes with WDialog. I would not recommend this framework (see below).

This question is closely tied to the framework itself. Regarding
WDialog, I found the description of web pages in XML format not very
satisfying, because a lot of things were put in the XML description
which was not very convenient (e.g. to handle translation of pages).

However, the programming of the OCaml part is always a pleasure. :-)

Yours,
