libhttpserver
A C++ library for building high-performance embedded RESTful HTTP servers.
What is libhttpserver?
libhttpserver is a C++ library for creating embedded, high‑performance HTTP servers with a REST‑oriented API. It wraps libmicrohttpd to provide an object‑interface for handling HTTP requests, responses, authentication, TLS, and file uploads. It solves the problem of building lightweight, compliant HTTP services in C++ without dealing with low‑level socket and protocol details.
C++ developers building embedded HTTP services, REST APIs, or lightweight web servers that require fine‑grained control over HTTP semantics, performance, and resource usage.
Developers choose libhttpserver because it offers a clean, object‑oriented C++ API on top of libmicrohttpd, full HTTP 1.1 compliance, extensive configurability (threading, TLS, authentication), and cross‑platform support—all while keeping the footprint small enough for embedded use.
