libwebb (webb is web in Swedish) is a small http server framework written in pure C99 with zero dependencies (for POSIX systems).
The basic usage of the library is as follows:
#include <string.h>
#include "webb/webb.h"
int http_handler(const WebbRequest *req, WebbResponse *res) {
// implement behavior given the HTTP request...
if (req->method != WEBB_GET)
return 404;
webb_set_body_static(res, "hello world", 11);
webb_set_header(res, "content-type", strdup("text/raw"));
return 200;
}
int main(void) {
// do some setup...
return webb_server_run("8080", http_handler);
}For API documentation, see the library header file. The API is fully documented using doxygen comments.
See ./bin/webb.c for a small web server using the framework.
make build # build the library
cp out/libwebb.a $DIR # copy the lib to your destination
cp out/libwebb.so $DIR # or the dynamic library
# compile against the library and include the header path
