Arizona is a mini-MVC, all-AJAX-all-the-time web framework built on top of a micro-framework.
The micro-framework is Perl's most-excellent Dancer, which is inspired by Ruby's Sinatra. Arizona also puts some abstractions around minimal use of HTML::Mason for templating.
Arizona is designed to be 100% AJAX with pluggable controllers so you don't end up with a mammoth routes file. Just add code.
Arizona also offers improvements to error handling, featuring polymorphic typed exceptions that can JSON-ify themselves and dictate their own error codes and templates.
Don't you hate it when your web framework comes with a model you don't like? Arizona doesn't.
You can bring your own model. Might we suggest github.com/webassign/Elevator?
Arizona is MIT licensed open source software. See COPYING for more details.
