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.

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;
}

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.

• ecewo/postgres.h for async PostgreSQL integration.
• ecewo/cookie.h for cookie management.
• ecewo/session.h for session management.
• ecewo/fs.h for file operations.
• ecewo/static.h for static file serving.
• ecewo/cors.h for CORS implementation.
• ecewo/helmet.h for automaticaly setting safety headers.

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