🌊 Wave, the simple HTTP server library for C

About

Wave is a simple C HTTP server library. You can use it to create your backend in C. It supports serving static files.

How to use it ?

Prerequisites

• First you need to compile the library and add the libwave.so file in your codebase.
• After that copy the wave.h header file of the library in your codebase.

Now the wave library is ready to be used!

Example webserver implementation

Here is an example implementation using the wave library:

#include "wave.h"

void about_handler(int client_fd, const char *request)
{
    send_response(client_fd, "This is a custom endpoint!", 200);
}

void custom_handler(int client_fd, const char *request)
{
    send_file_response(client_fd, "index.html");
}

int main(void)
{
    server_t *server = init_server(8080);

    add_route(server, "GET", "/", default_handler);
    add_route(server, "GET", "/about", about_handler);
    add_route(server, "GET", "/custom", custom_handler);
    start_server(server);
    return 0;
}

You can compile your webserver with:

gcc main.c -I. -lwave -L. -Wl,-rpath,.

🎉 And your webserver now ready to go !
