Apple pie is HTTP Server implementation in Zig. The initial goal is to offer full support for http versions 1.0 and 1.1 with 2.0 and further planned at a later stage. With Apple Pie I'd like to offer a library that contains all features you'd expect from a server, while still remaining performant. Rather than hiding complexity, I want to expose its functionality so users can replace and/or expand upon to fit their needs.
- HTTP 1.1 spec (fully) implemented
- Crossplatform support
- Extensive routing (see the router example) built in
- Allows for both async and blocking I/O using Zig's std event loop
A very basic implementation would be as follow:
const std = @import("std");
const http = @import("apple_pie");
// use evented mode for event loop support
pub const io_mode = .evented;
// optional root constant to define max stack buffer size per request
pub const buffer_size: usize = 4096;
// optional root constant to define max header size per request
pub const request_buffer_size: usize = 4096;
pub fn main() !void {
var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
defer _ = gpa.deinit();
try http.listenAndServe(
&gpa.allocator,
try std.net.Address.parseIp("127.0.0.1", 8080),
index,
);
}
fn index(response: *http.Response, request: http.Request) !void {
try response.writer().writeAll("Hello Zig!");
}More examples can be found in the examples folder.
Apple Pie is being developed on Zig's master branch and tries to keep up-to-date with its latest development.
To build Apple Pie a simple
zig build will suffice.
To build any of the examples, use the following:
zig build example -Dexample=<example_name>
it will appear in zig-cache/bin/example_name
