 # Flash
-
-A high-performance HTTP/1.1 server library for Java 21+, built for low-latency workloads.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Virtual threads** — one virtual thread per connection via `Executors.newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor()`
-- **Zero-allocation hot path** — header buffer reused across keep-alive requests; `ByteView` slices avoid copies
-- **Fast routing** — `fpr-core` compiles routes into a byte-level finite automaton at first request; path params via `PathParams`
-- **Two-tier router** — mounted sub-routers matched by longest prefix, then `FastPathRouterImpl` fallback
-- **Middleware chain** — composable `Middleware` lambdas fused at registration time (no per-request allocation)
-- **Chunked transfer** — `ChunkedInputStream` de-chunks on the fly, keeps socket positioned for pipelining
-- **Request body** — `bytes()` for full materialization or `stream()` for zero-copy streaming
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Java 21+
-- Maven 3.8+
-
-## Build
-
-```bash
-mvn clean package -DskipTests
-```
-
-## Quick start
-
-```java
-HttpServer server = new HttpServer(
-    HttpServerConfiguration.builder().port(8080).build()
-);
-
-server.get("/hello", (req, res) -> "Hello, world!");
-
-server.register(new MyHandler()); // @Route(path="/...", method=GET)
-
-server.start().thenRun(() -> System.out.println("Listening on :8080"));
-```
-
-## Handler styles
-
-**Lambda:**
-```java
-server.get("/ping", (req, res) -> "pong");
-```
-
-**Class-based (`@Route`):**
-```java
-@Route(path = "/users/{id}", method = HttpMethod.GET)
-public class GetUser extends RequestHandler {
-    @Override
-    public Object handle(Request req, Response res) {
-        String id = req.pathParam("id");
-        return "{\"id\":\"" + id + "\"}";
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Middleware:**
-```java
-Middleware cors = next -> (req, res) -> {
-    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
-    return next.handle(req, res);
-};
-server.register(new GetUser(), cors);
-```
