A JUCE Module containing C++ Bindings for the popular mongoose lightweight web server

Mongoose-C++

https://github.com/Gregwar/mongoose-cpp

Mongoose-C++ is a fork of the popular mongoose lightweight web server which aims to add C++ bindings and a easy-to-use API.

Features

• Object-Oriented high level API, keeping the lightweight mongoose implementation as a backend
• Easy-to-use controllers sytem to build an application with modules
• Possibility of enabling JsonCPP to create a json compliant web application
• URL dispatcher using regex matches (C++11)
• Session system to store data about an user using cookies and garbage collect cleaning
• Simple access to GET & POST requests
• Websockets support

Hello world

Here is an example, this will serve the static files from www/ directory (which is the default setting) and the /hello page will be answered by a controller which will display the GET name variable, for instance /hello?name=bob will display the string "Hello bob". Default parameter value, if not provided, will be "... waht's your name ?". This is the helloworld program build in the examples:

class MainComponent   : public Component, public Mongoose::WebController
{
public:
    //==============================================================================
    MainComponent()
    : server (8080)
    {
        setupRoutes();
        server.registerController(this);
        server.start();
        
        setSize (600, 400);
    }
    
    void hello (Mongoose::Request &request, Mongoose::StreamResponse &response)
    {
        response << "Hello " << htmlEntities(request.get("name", "... what's your name ?")) << std::endl;
    }
    
    void setupRoutes()
    {
        addRoute("GET", "/hello", MainComponent, hello);
    }
