+**NOTE**: Reitit is not a batteries included web-stack. You should also include at least:
+* content negotiation library like [Muuntaja](https://github.com/metosin/muuntaja)
+* some default Ring-middleware like `ring.middleware.params/wrap-params`
+
+See [Ring with Swagger Example](/tree/master/examples/ring-swagger) for a runnable example. Plan is to have more batteries as separate modules, templates and example projects. Stay tuned.
