+# Examples
+
+## [Async Stateful Module](./async_stateful_module.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example async_stateful_module --features response-macros`
+
+Demonstrates use of the `AsyncModule` trait by implementing the module
+`Clicker` which tracks the global number of visits to the capsule.
+
+This can easily be adapted to contain a hashmap of routes which are individually
+tracked for clicks.
+
+## [Async](./async.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example async --features response-macros`
+
+Demonstrates use of async routes through an async response macro and
+implementing a click tracker using a shared variable through an thread-safe,
+async mutex.
+
+## [Binary](./binary.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example binary --features response-macros`
+
+Demonstrates the binary response functionality by using both manual
+and automatic mime resolution (`--features auto-deduce-mime`).
+
+## [Callbacks](./callbacks.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example callbacks`
+
+Demonstrates use of the pre and post-route callback handlers.
+
+## [Certificate](./certificate.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example certificate --features response-macros`
+
+Demonstrate the various certificate related responses as well as
+reading the client certificate to give conditional access.
+
+## [Default Logger](./default_logger.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example default_logger --features logger,response-macros`
+
+A simple example showing the use of the default default logger implementation.
+
+## [Empty](./empty.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example empty`
+
+An empty example which starts up a server but has no mounted routes.
+
+## [Error Handler](./error_handler.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example error_handler`
+
+Creates an intentional error within a route, invoking the error handler.
+
+## [Fix Path](./fix_path.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example fix_path --features response-macros`
+
+A simple example which demonstrates use of the path fixer that attempts to resolve the closest match of a route when an invalid route is visited.
+
+This feature is limited to simple resolution patches such as resolving
+trailing and missing trailing slashes. If your capsule requires a more sophisticated path fixer, please use any of the provided mechanisms to do so before your routes execute.
+
+## [Input](./input.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example input`
+
+Demonstrates how to accept and inspect both standard and sensitive input.
+
+## [MIME](./mime.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example mime`
+
+Demonstrate how to modify the MIME of a response before use.
+
+## [Parameters](./parameters.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example parameters --features response-macros`
+
+Demonstrate the use of route parameters (not URL queries).
+
+## [Partial](./partial.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example partial`
+
+Demonstrates use of appending headers and footers to routes, globally.
+
+If you would like to conditionally append headers and footers based on route, please look into using a templating framework.
+
+## [Query](./query.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example input --features response-macros`
+
+Demonstrates the inspection of URL queries parameters.
+
+## [Responses](./responses.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example responses --features response-macros`
+
+Demonstrates the use of a wide variety of responses, additionally exposing the flexibility of response bodies types.
+
+## [Simple `async-std`](./simple_async_std.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example simple_async_std --features async-std`
+
+Demonstrates how to explicitly specify Windmark to use the [`async-std`](https://github.com/async-rs/async-std) runtime.
+
+If the `async-std` feature is NOT enabled, Windmark will default to using Tokio as the async runtime.
+
+## [Simple Tokio](./simple_tokio.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example simple_async_std --features async-std`
+
+Demonstrates how to explicitly specify Windmark to use the [Tokio](https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio) runtime.
+
+## [Stateful Module](./stateful_module.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example stateful_module --features response-macros`
+
+Demonstrates use of `Module`s by implementing a click tracker
+
+Identical in functionality to the Async Stateful Module example, just not asynchronous.
+
+## [Stateless Module](./stateless_module.rs)
+
+`cargo run --example stateless_module`
+
+Demonstrates use of a stateless module.
+
+Unlike a `Module`, a stateless module is not encapsulated into a `struct`, but is a simple function which is used to perform operations.
+
+Stateless modules are able to emulate stateful modules employing `static` variables. The earliest Windmark modules (add-ons) were made this way.
+
+The only requirement of a module is to implement the signature of a stateless module: `FnMut(&mut Router) -> ()`.
