== Features == Plug offers several key features that make it a popular choice for web development in Elixir: * '''Middleware Composition''': Plug allows developers to easily compose multiple middleware modules into a request-response pipeline. Each module can perform specific tasks, such as parsing parameters, handling cookies, or authenticating users. * '''Pluggable Architecture''': Every component in Plug is a plug. This includes the web server, routers, and even individual handlers. Developers can create their own plugs and seamlessly integrate them into existing applications. * '''Pattern Matching''': Plug leverages the power of pattern matching in Elixir to match specific requests based on conditions. This enables precise control over which plugs are executed for each request. * '''Error Handling''': Plug provides a unified error handling mechanism, allowing developers to handle and format errors consistently throughout their applications. * '''Testability''': Plug promotes a test-driven development approach by providing a clear separation between the web server and the application logic. This makes it easy to write tests for individual plugs and validate the behavior of the entire pipeline.
