Webdis is a lightweight HTTP server written in C that exposes Redis commands over HTTP with JSON output. It supports JSONP, chunked pub/sub, access control via IP masks or HTTP auth, and file uploads via PUT.

Use cases

• query redis over http with curl
• expose redis as a json rest api
• use redis from javascript without a redis client
• subscribe to redis pub/sub channels over http
• give browser apps read access to redis
• set redis keys by uploading files with http put

When to choose

• you need to access Redis from environments where a Redis client is impractical, like browsers or simple scripts
• you want a small, fast, self-contained HTTP-to-Redis gateway
• you need JSONP or chunked pub/sub over HTTP

When to avoid

• your application can connect to Redis directly with a native client
• you need full Redis protocol features not exposed by Webdis
• you require heavy authentication or API management features better suited to an API gateway
