Psst! If you're starting a new project, why not try out reitit?
Stuff on top of Compojure for making sweet web apis.
- Schema & clojure.spec (2.0.0) for input & output data coercion
- Swagger for api documentation, via ring-swagger & spec-tools
- Async with async-ring, manifold and core.async (2.0.0)
- Client negotiable formats: JSON, EDN & Transit, optionally YAML and MessagePack
- Data-driven resources
- Bi-directional routing
- Bundled middleware for common api behavior (exception handling, parameters & formats)
- Extendable route DSL via metadata handlers
- Route functions & macros for putting things together, including the Swagger-UI via ring-swagger-ui
- Requires Clojure 1.9.0 & Java 1.8
Latest version
Latest non-alpha: [metosin/compojure-api "1.1.14"].

Clojurians slack (join) has a channel #ring-swagger for talk about any libraries using Ring-swagger. You can also ask questions about Compojure-api and Ring-swagger on other channels at Clojurians Slack or at #clojure on Freenode IRC (mention compojure-api or ring-swagger to highlight us).
Examples
Hello World Api
(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all]) (require '[ring.util.http-response :refer :all]) (def app (api (GET "/hello" [] :query-params [name :- String] (ok {:message (str "Hello, " name)}))))
Hello World, async
(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all]) (require '[clojure.core.async :as a]) (GET "/hello-async" [] :query-params [name :- String] (a/go (a/<! (a/timeout 500)) (ok {:message (str "Hello, " name)})))
* requires server to be run in async mode
Hello World, async & data-driven
(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all]) (require '[clojure.core.async :as a]) (require '[schema.core :as s]) (context "/hello-async" [] (resource {:get {:parameters {:query-params {:name String}} :responses {200 {:schema {:message String}} 404 {} 500 {:schema s/Any}} :handler (fn [{{:keys [name]} :query-params}] (a/go (a/<! (a/timeout 500)) (ok {:message (str "Hello, " name)})))}}))
* Note that empty body responses can be specified with {} or {:schema s/Any}
Hello World, async, data-driven & clojure.spec
(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all]) (require '[clojure.core.async :as a]) (require '[clojure.spec.alpha :as s]) (s/def ::name string?) (s/def ::message string?) (context "/hello-async" [] (resource {:coercion :spec :get {:parameters {:query-params (s/keys :req-un [::name])} :responses {200 {:schema (s/keys :req-un [::message])}} :handler (fn [{{:keys [name]} :query-params}] (a/go (a/<! (a/timeout 500)) (ok {:message (str "Hello, " name)})))}}))
Api with Schema & Swagger-docs
(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all]) (require '[schema.core :as s]) (s/defschema Pizza {:name s/Str (s/optional-key :description) s/Str :size (s/enum :L :M :S) :origin {:country (s/enum :FI :PO) :city s/Str}}) (def app (api {:swagger {:ui "/api-docs" :spec "/swagger.json" :data {:info {:title "Sample API" :description "Compojure Api example"} :tags [{:name "api", :description "some apis"}] :consumes ["application/json"] :produces ["application/json"]}}} (context "/api" [] :tags ["api"] (GET "/plus" [] :return {:result Long} :query-params [x :- Long, y :- Long] :summary "adds two numbers together" (ok {:result (+ x y)})) (POST "/echo" [] :return Pizza :body [pizza Pizza] :summary "echoes a Pizza" (ok pizza)))))
