+Most of the management is done for you using a configuration file describing your API. you're left with implementing :
 - handlers
 - optionnally middle-wares (_e.g. authentication, csrf_)
 - and optionnally your custom type checkers to check input parameters

-Your main executable will declare and run the aicra server, it might look quite like the code below.

-###### 1. Input types
 
 Input arguments defines what data from the HTTP request the method needs. Aicra is able to extract 3 types of data :
 
-- **URI** - Curly Braces enclosed strings inside the request path. For instance, if your controller is bound to the `/user/{id}` URI, you can set the input argument `{id}` matching this uri part.
+- **URI** - data from inside the request path. For instance, if your controller is bound to the `/user/{id}` URI, you can set the input argument `{id}` matching this uri part.
 - **Query** - data formatted at the end of the URL following the standard [HTTP Query](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.4) syntax.
 - **URL encoded** - data send inside the body of the request but following the [HTTP Query](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.4) syntax.
 - **Multipart** - data send inside the body of the request with a dedicated [format](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2388#section-3). This format is not very lightweight but allows you to receive data as well as files.
