mongoose

A long time ago I had "fun" implementing all sorts of network protocols with such an event based library on C: https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose

I've found myself at this webpage multiple times while trying to minimize the complexity of APIs in my C projects. I think it does a lovely job explaining control flow and it has helped me to think more explicitly about storage of state on and off the stack as well as the readability consequences of different approaches. My conclusion for now is that the choice to use C coroutines is best left to the library user. For example: Mongoose (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose) uses event callbacks to deal with asynchronousness. It is much more pleasant to wrap a library like this in whatever thread/task primitives your system has rather than try to port the mythical cross-platform C couroutine or worse, std::thread.

I remember hooking up opencv with the embeddable server mongoose 15 years back. Today i would have considered mongoose(10k+ stars) which is also a mature c/c++ web server[1] if not the licence. Also check out this thread(290+ pts) on tiny http servers in C. [2] [1] https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/tree/master/examples [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26671851

For embedded: https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/

Also overlaps with mongoose.{c,h} (GPL; not the MongoDB Mongoose) and its fork CivetWeb (MIT license). https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb

Personally, I've used: https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb (for implementing an RFC 3161 (crypto timestamp) service. It's a fork of https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose (The Civetweb fork exists due to Mongoose license switch from MIT to GPLv2)

I've used mongoose in the past to embed http servers to C++ programs. Would be interesting to see how this performs in comparison. https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose Here's me attempting to optimize REST routing by using Google's re2 regex library to reduce the list of possible regexes that might match a given URL: https://github.com/nurettin/pwned/blob/master/server/server.... FilteredRE2 https://github.com/google/re2/blob/master/re2/filtered_re2.h

I think Mongoose was called mongoose before mongo db plugin existed. https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose - that's the project from which Mongoose OS stems.

To anybody interested in ESP8266 and JavaScript, shameless plug: https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose-iot It can also be used as a replacement SDK for C development. In addition to the stock ESP8266 SDK it offers a filesystem, configuration infrastructure, async networking library (using the github.com/cesanta/mongoose networking library), OTA update support, coredumps, easy to use toolchain based on docker, improved (faster) flashing tool. And you can also enable the JavaScript scripting engine and script your firmware. We're also supporting other platforms such as the cc3200 so it will enable you to easily change the target; some platforms are good for prototyping, some are better for production; often it's impossible to choose wisely at the beginning so it's nice to not require a full rewrite of your logic.

Smart.js is based on two projects: - V7: a small portable JS VM (https://github.com/cesanta/v7) - mongoose: a portable async multiprotocol networking library (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose) Both of those projects are independent and have some traction on their own; but you're right that we should make it more explicit. Mongoose is out there since 2004 and is a quite popular embedded http server. We added many other protocols to it, including also COAP and DNS. Arduino libs are not used because they are not async and not portable. Honestly I don't know about node-red, sounds interesting; however node's V8 VM is too heavyweight for the smallest devices we aim to support. Smart.js does expose a nodejs-compatible core API wherever possible, so it might be possible to port node-red to it.

Mongoose is a web server. See https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose. It's obviously not https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose.

Here are the links, to save you from the digging: - https://www.cesanta.com/developer/smartjs#_http - https://www.cesanta.com/developer/smartjs#_websocket MQTT API is on it's way, it's already implemented by the underlying networking library (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose)

I've used https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose in the past maybe I could try this one.

I am big fan of the mongoose server[0]. This python thing has issues handling concurrent requests, but i use it as a fallback, if mongoose is not installed. [0] https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose
