Mongoose
A cross-platform embedded networking library for C/C++ with built-in TCP/IP stack, HTTP, WebSocket, and MQTT support.
What is Mongoose?
Mongoose is an embedded networking library for C/C++ that provides event-driven, non-blocking APIs for TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT, and other protocols. It solves the problem of connecting devices to the internet by offering a lightweight, portable solution that works across a wide range of hardware, from microcontrollers to servers. The library includes its own TCP/IP stack for bare-metal systems and supports external stacks like lwIP, making it versatile for embedded and IoT applications.
Embedded software engineers and firmware developers working on IoT devices, industrial automation, consumer electronics, or any C/C++ project requiring network connectivity on resource-constrained hardware.
Developers choose Mongoose for its exceptional portability, minimal footprint, and comprehensive protocol support, which simplifies embedded network programming. Its built-in TCP/IP stack reduces dependencies, while proven reliability in production environments (including space missions) and strong security practices make it a trusted choice for commercial products.
