F(ast)HTTP

fhttp is as library that provides fairly simple interface for building HTTP based servers, it provides "auto" json de/serialization, swagger generation and much more!

For examples check out basic_http_server

Notice

fhttp is currently mostly just a POC and funny personal project

Features

• Shared configuration
• Shared state between handlers
• Auto JSON de/serialization
• Auto OpenAPI spec generation
• Graceful shutdown
• Regex pattern within URLs
• Currently supports only HTTP version 1.*
• Keep-alive Timeout
• Middlewares using handler base classes that modify evaluate_request

todo

• tests
• add list/optional/union support to data module & swagger
• proper typed query params parsing (add it to swagger generation)
• compression (for now gzip/deflate)
• try out some basic implementation of websockets (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API/Writing_WebSocket_servers)
• cleanup unused code
