10−each endpoint.

15−- `servant`, which contains everything you need to *declare* a webservice API.
16−- `servant-server`, which lets you *implement* an HTTP server with handlers for
17−each endpoint of an API.
18−- `servant-client`, which lets you derive automatically Haskell functions that
19−let you query each endpoint of a `servant` webservice.
20−- `servant-docs`, which lets you generate API docs for your webservice.
21−- `servant-js`, which lets you derive Javascript functions (using vanilla JS
22−ajax requests, angular or jquery) to query your API's endpoints, in the same
23−spirit as `servant-client`.
24−- `servant-blaze` and `servant-lucid` provide easy HTML rendering of your data
25−as an `HTML` content-type "combinator".
