 Yet another web framework.
 .
 What's cool about Jifty? (Buzzwords)
 .
 DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
    Jifty tries not to make you say things more than once.
 .
 Full-stack
    Out of the proverbial box, Jifty comes with one way to do everything
    you should need to do: One database mapper, one templating system,
    one web services layer, one AJAX toolkit, one set of handlers for
    standalone or FastCGI servers. We work hard to make all the bits
    play well together, so you don't have to.
 .
 Continuations
    With Jifty, it's easy to let the user go off and do something else,
    like fill out a wizard, look something up in the help system or go
    twiddle their preferences and come right back to where they were.
 .
 Form-based dispatch
    This is one of the things that Jifty does that we've not seen
    anywhere else. Jifty owns your form rendering and processing. This
    means you never need to write form handling logic. All you say is "I
    want an input for this argument here" and Jifty takes care of the
    rest. (Even autocomplete and validation)
