What is IHP?
The IHP web framework empowers developers to create robust and scalable web applications with Haskell, a functional programming language renowned for its exceptional type system. Harnessing the power of Haskell's type-safety, IHP ensures that applications are built with resilience, minimizing the risk of common runtime issues like null pointer exceptions, cross-site scripting (XSS), and SQL injection vulnerabilities.
Highlights
- Compile-time type checking: IHP's integration with Haskell's type system eliminates many common runtime errors, enabling developers to catch and address issues early in the development process
- Integrated web-based IDE: IHP provides a comprehensive development environment, including a database schema designer, a code generator, and a REPL, all accessible through a web-based interface to enhance developer productivity
- Refactor-friendly: Thanks to Haskell's strong type system, IHP applications can be safely refactored without the risk of breaking other parts of the system, making it easier to maintain and evolve code over time.
