Frost Crystal: The coolest Crystal API framework

Frost Crystal is a barebones, modular API framework built with Crystal... and it's super cool.

Its structure has been built out to be naturally quite opinionated. That being said however, the project's logic is easy enough to follow and can easily be modified to suit your needs as much of the logic can be found and modified in the helper files.

The project utilizes Toro for modular routing and Granite for substrate-independent persistence.
