Mongoose.jl is a Julia package that provides a lightweight and efficient interface for building HTTP servers and web applications. It leverages the Mongoose C library to deliver fast, embeddable web server capabilities directly from Julia code. The package is designed for simplicity and ease of use. With Mongoose.jl, users can define routes, handle HTTP requests, and serve dynamic or static content with minimal setup.

Example

Simple HTTP server

This example demonstrates how to use the Mongoose.jl package to create a basic HTTP server in Julia. The server registers a single route (/hello) that responds to GET requests with a JSON message.

• Loading library

using Mongoose

• JSON response

• Request handler

function greet(conn; kwargs...)
    mg_json_reply(conn, 200, "{\"message\":\"Hello World from Julia!\"}")
end

• Route registration

mg_register!("get", "/hello", greet)

• Start server

mg_serve!()

• Shoutdown server

mg_shutdown!()
