A Simple Http Router - From Scratch - in Java

As part of my “No Web Framework, No Annotations” blog project, I am happy to publish an article on building a simple Http Router.

My aim, in this series, is to get to a point where simple web applications should require only the base JRE and no other libraries. There will be some, but go as far as I can.

This application, and the tests, can run in under 6MB memory, and right now creates a jar (with all dependencies) of under 16000 bytes. The code uses functional style of programming wherever feasible.
