Haywire is an asynchronous HTTP server framework written in C, built on the libuv event loop that powers node.js. It aims for a minimal feature set with extremely high request throughput and low latency and resource usage.
Use cases
- build a high-performance HTTP server in C
- serve millions of requests per second with low latency
- learn how to write an event-loop based HTTP server
- benchmark HTTP server throughput and latency
- build a minimal non-blocking web server on libuv
When to choose
- you need maximum HTTP throughput and minimal latency in C
- you want a lightweight libuv-based server framework
- you are experimenting with or learning high-performance server internals
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured web framework with routing, middleware, and ecosystem
- you want a maintained project with active development
- you prefer higher-level languages or batteries-included HTTP servers
