+
+**impart** is a library for the final layer between the API and the consumer. It's used in the latest [Write.as](https://write.as) and [HTMLhouse](https://html.house) APIs.
+
+We're still in the early stages of development, so there may be breaking changes.
+
+## Example use
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"fmt"
+	"github.com/writeas/impart"
+	"net/http"
+)
+
+type handlerFunc func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) error
+
+func main() {
+	http.HandleFunc("/", handle(index))
+	http.ListenAndServe("127.0.0.1:8080", nil)
+}
+
+func index(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) error {
+	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello world!")
+
+	return nil
+}
+
+func handle(f handlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc {
+	return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+		handleError(w, r, func() error {
+			// Do authentication...
+
+			// Handle the request
+			err := f(w, r)
+
+			// Log the request and result...
+
+			return err
+		}())
+	}
+}
+
+func handleError(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, err error) {
+	if err == nil {
+		return
+	}
+
+	if err, ok := err.(impart.HTTPError); ok {
+		impart.WriteError(w, err)
+		return
+	}
+
+	impart.WriteError(w, impart.HTTPError{http.StatusInternalServerError, "Internal server error :("})
+}
+```
