## What it is
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
