http.zig is an HTTP/1.1 server library written in Zig, providing routing, middleware, WebSockets, and server-sent events. It is designed as a fast, lightweight alternative for building web services in Zig.

Use cases

• build an http server in zig
• serve a json rest api with zig
• add websocket support to a zig backend
• handle server-sent events in zig
• route http requests with path parameters in zig
• write middleware for a zig web server

When to choose

• you are building an HTTP/1.1 web service or API in Zig
• you want a lightweight, fast server with routing and middleware built in
• you need WebSocket or SSE support in a Zig application

When to avoid

• you need HTTP/2 or TLS handled by the library itself
• you are not using Zig or are pinned to an older Zig version without a matching branch
• you need a fully batteries-included web framework with ORM and templating
