= Action Pack -- From request to response



Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It

provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining

*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses. In short, Action Pack

provides the controller layer in the MVC paradigm.



It consists of several modules:



* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles

  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP

  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,

  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.



* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be

  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result

  of an action is typically content generated from views.



With the Ruby on \Rails framework, users only directly interface with the

Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated

by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action

Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and

can be used outside of \Rails.
