I suspected the malli coercion custom registry example was broken, so I
wanted to get it tested and the coercion Malli options indeed had an
extra layer of map.

## Latest version
All main modules bundled:
[![Clojars Project](http://clojars.org/metosin/reitit/latest-version.svg)](http://clojars.org/metosin/reitit)
Optionally, the parts can be required separately.
Reitit requires Clojure 1.11 and Java 11.
Reitit is tested with the LTS releases Java 11, 17, 21 and 25
## Quick start
```clj
(require '[reitit.core :as r])
(def router
(r/router
[["/api/ping" ::ping]
["/api/orders/:id" ::order]]))
(into {} (r/match-by-path router "/api/ping"))
;; => {:template "/api/ping"
;; :data {:name ::ping}
;; :result nil
;; :path-params {}
;; :path "/api/ping"}
(into {} (r/match-by-name router ::order {:id 2}))
;; => {:template "/api/orders/:id",
;; :data {:name ::order},
;; :result nil,
;; :path-params {:id "2"},
;; :path "/api/orders/2"}
```
## Ring example
A Ring routing app with input & output coercion using [data-specs](https://github.com/metosin/spec-tools/blob/master/README.md#data-specs).
```clj
(require '[muuntaja.core :as m])
(require '[reitit.ring :as ring])
(require '[reitit.coercion.spec])
(require '[reitit.ring.coercion :as rrc])
(require '[reitit.ring.middleware.exception :as exception])
(require '[reitit.ring.middleware.muuntaja :as muuntaja])
(require '[reitit.ring.middleware.parameters :as parameters])
(def app
(ring/ring-handler
(ring/router
["/api"
["/math" {:get {:parameters {:query {:x int?, :y int?}}
:responses {200 {:body {:total int?}}}
:handler (fn [{{{:keys [x y]} :query} :parameters}]
{:status 200
:body {:total (+ x y)}})}}]]
;; router data affecting all routes
{:data {:coercion reitit.coercion.spec/coercion
:muuntaja m/instance
:middleware [parameters/parameters-middleware ; decoding query & form params
muuntaja/format-middleware ; content negotiation
exception/exception-middleware ; converting exceptions to HTTP responses
rrc/coerce-request-middleware
rrc/coerce-response-middleware]}})))
```
Valid request:
```clj
(-> (app {:request-method :get
:uri "/api/math"
:query-params {:x "1", :y "2"}})
(update :body slurp))
;; => {:status 200
;; :body "{\"total\":3}"
;; :headers {"Content-Type" "application/json; charset=utf-8"}}
```
Invalid request:
<!-- FIXME: Not asserted because each run gets a new generated spec name -->
```clj
(-> (app {:request-method :get
:uri "/api/math"
:query-params {:x "1", :y "a"}})
(update :body jsonista.core/read-value))
;; {:status 400
;; :headers {"Content-Type" "application/json; charset=utf-8"}
;; :body {"spec" "(spec-tools.core/spec {:spec (clojure.spec.alpha/keys :req-un [:spec$8974/x :spec$8974/y]), :type :map, :leaf? false})"
;; "value" {"x" "1"
;; "y" "a"}
;; "problems" [{"via" ["spec$8974/y"]
;; "path" ["y"]
;; "pred" "clojure.core/int?"
;; "in" ["y"]
;; "val" "a"}]
;; "type" "reitit.coercion/request-coercion"
;; "coercion" "spec"
;; "in" ["request" "query-params"]}}
```
