==============================
AshleshaJS is a framework based on Express and YUI3. It helps build high performance, maintainable single page
web applications based on best practices.
With AshleshaJS you design your HTTP API first and then build a web application as a set of independent resuable components.
Even thought AshleshaJS lets you build single page applications it also provides incremental enhancement support which means
for the browsers (and crawlers) not supporting Javascript the application still serves pages though with degraded features.
