Lightweight Library For REST API

Hi,
I am trying to create REST API backend for my single-page-application but I am currently stuck on choosing a library to use. Phoenix seems a bit overkill for a simple REST API. Can anyone recommend a good lightweight library?

Cheers,
Joe

What exactly is it you consider overkill?

It is quite lightweight already, and if you use --no-html on project generation HTML related dependencies aren’t even pulled in.
