Modular C web framework with Express.js ergonomics and native performance.

This is a hobby project that I'm developing to improve my programming skills. So it might not be production-ready, and it doesn't have to be.

• Requirements
• Quick Start
• Benchmarks
• Documentation
• Modules
• Example App
• Contributing
• License

• A C compiler
• CMake version 3.14 or higher

main.c:

#include "ecewo.h"
#include <stdio.h>

void hello_world(Req *req, Res *res)
{
    send_text(res, 200, "Hello, World!");
}

int main(void)
{
    if (server_init() != SERVER_OK)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize server\n");
        return 1;
    }

    get("/", hello_world);

    if (server_listen(3000) != SERVER_OK)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to start server\n");
        return 1;
    }

    server_run();
    return 0;
}

CMakeLists.txt:

    main.c
)

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE ecewo)

Build:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build .

Here are 'Hello World' benchmark results for several frameworks compared to Ecewo. See the source code of the benchmark test.

Lower is better.

Refer to the docs for usage.

Here is an example blog app built with Ecewo and PostgreSQL.
