Inspired by Express.js — it’s minimalist, unopinionated, and easy-to-use (in a C kind of way).

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.

}

Build:

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

• Full asynchronous operations support
• Cross-platform compatibility
• JSON and CBOR support
• Cookie management and optional session based authentication mechanism
• Flexible middleware support (route-specific and global)
• Express.js-like routing mechanism

• A C compiler (GCC, Clang, or MSVC)
• CMake version 3.14 or higher

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

Refer to the docs for usage.

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