LightNode
A micro RPC/REST framework for .NET built on OWIN, designed for simple APIs with lightweight implementation and powerful debugging.
What is LightNode?
LightNode is a micro RPC/REST framework built on OWIN for .NET, designed to simplify API development by automatically exposing public methods as endpoints. It solves the complexity of building lightweight APIs with features like built-in debugging, client code generation, and high performance.
.NET developers building simple to medium-complexity APIs who want a lightweight alternative to ASP.NET Web API or Nancy, especially those needing RPC-style endpoints and extensive debugging tools.
Developers choose LightNode for its minimal overhead, seamless integrations with Glimpse and Swagger, and client code generation that reduces boilerplate. Its performance is near raw handlers, making it ideal for high-throughput scenarios.
