Hi I am wondering, but supprisingaly Google wasn’t able to bring up any explanation to “diffrance between mod\_neko and mod\_tora” Usualyy I am using haxe/PHP for web, but now I have an issue with hx-yaml not supporting php target becuase of unicode issue, so I would like to try mod\_neko/tora. I see that mod\_neko is more documented, but some benchmarks are claiming that mod\_tora is faster, the book on haxe only mention mod\_neko. Can anyone suggest what the rela diffrance is in terms of performance, platforms and functionality. ---

Hej, I’ve used mod\_tora for years it’s an Apache module like mod\_neko (so you have to use Haxe’s neko target) but with a server where you can share variables and “cache” things, so for this kind of things it will perform faster. If you haven’t already seen it, you can take a look at this blog where it explains this : [neko.Web.cacheModule() – Jason O'Neil](https://jasono.co/2013/09/11/neko-web-cachemodule/)
