Zap is a fast, robust web microframework for Zig that wraps the facil.io C networking library to build HTTP servers and REST APIs. It provides an App/Endpoint-based API with optional TLS support via OpenSSL.

Use cases

  • build a rest api in zig
  • replace flask backends with a fast native server
  • serve http endpoints with low latency
  • build a microframework-style web backend
  • host https endpoints using openssl
  • write high-performance apis

When to choose

  • you write backends in Zig and need a fast, stable HTTP framework
  • you want a lightweight Flask-like microframework with native performance
  • you deploy on Linux or macOS and need production-proven robustness

When to avoid

  • you need Windows support natively (use WSL2 or Docker instead)
  • you need extensive documentation or a large ecosystem
  • your team does not use Zig
