CEB - C3 Hono-like Backend

A lightweight http server framework written in C3 powered by c3io and libuv, inspired by Hono and express.js.

Features

• Simple routing system with HTTP method support
  • GET
  • POST
  • PUT
  • PATCH
  • DELETE
  • TRACE
  • CONNECT
• Content type handling (HTML, JSON, TXT, AAC)
• Basic request/response handling
• Static file serving capability

Quick Start

module main;
import std::io;
import ceb;

fn int main() {
  Server server;
  server.init();

  defer server.start();

  server
    .get("/heyo",
      fn (
        Request req
      ) => {
        .status = 200,
        .status_text = StatusText.OK,
        .data = dstring::temp("Hello World"),
        .content_type = ContentType.TXT
      }
    )
  
  io::printf("Server starting...\n");  
  return 0;
}

Building

Make sure you have C3 compiler installed, then:

c3c build

The output binary will be available in the build directory.

Project Structure

• src - Source code files
  • src/main.c3 - Entry point
  • src/ceb.c3 - Core server implementation
  • src/enums.c3 - HTTP-related enums and constants
• build - Compiled output
• resources - Static resources
• test - Test files

Current Limitations

• Early prototype stage
• Not optimized for production use
• Limited error handling
• No security features implemented
• Limited request parsing capabilities
• No SSL/TLS support

Development Status

This project is in active development and should be considered alpha software. It is primarily intended for:

• Experimenting with web server concepts
• Understanding low-level networking

Do not use this in production environments.
