## What it is
node.native is a C++11 port of the node.js programming model, providing an event-driven, asynchronous HTTP server and runtime built on libuv and http-parser. It is a header-only library that lets C++ developers write non-blocking server applications with a node.js-style callback API.

## Use cases
- write an http server in c++
- build event-driven network applications in c++
- use node.js style async programming in c++
- create a simple rest server with c++
- port node.js patterns to native code
- build a lightweight web server without node runtime

## When to choose
- you want node.js-style asynchronous I/O with native C++ performance
- you need a header-only C++ library for building HTTP servers
- you are comfortable with C++11 and libuv

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready framework (last release 2016, project abandoned)
- you want a full node.js ecosystem with npm packages
- you need extensive documentation or community support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-server, web-framework, concurrency
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: c++11, libuv, nodejs-port, header-only, event-driven, linux, macos
