Japronto is a screaming-fast asynchronous HTTP toolkit with an integrated pipelining HTTP server for Python 3.5+, implemented in hand-tuned C on top of uvloop and picohttpparser. It remains an early alpha preview with provisional APIs, receives no active development (though not formally abandoned), and explicitly warns against production use.

Use cases

• build a high-performance http server in python
• handle millions of requests per second with python
• fast asyncio web framework for hello-world benchmarks
• pipelining http server based on uvloop
• serve http faster than go stdlib from python
• minimal async http toolkit for speed enthusiasts

When to choose

• You need maximum raw HTTP throughput in Python and are comfortable with C-level plumbing and alpha-quality APIs
• You want to experiment with pipelined request parsing and uvloop-based asynchronous I/O
• You are benchmarking Python HTTP servers against Go or Node.js implementations

When to avoid

• Any production or serious use - the project is alpha quality with provisional APIs and explicitly warns against production deployment
• You need a stable, well-maintained framework with an ecosystem - consider aiohttp, Starlette, or FastAPI instead
• You are a novice Python programmer or uncomfortable working with C extensions
• You need long-term support, new features, or Windows support - development has stalled and uvloop targets Unix-like systems
