Served is a C++ library for building high performance RESTful web servers.
Served builds upon Boost.ASIO to provide a simple API for developers to create HTTP services in C++.
Features:
- HTTP 1.1 compatible request parser
- Middleware / plug-ins
- Flexible handler API
- Cross-platform compatible
- [Required] - Boost 1.56
- [Required] - RE2
- [Optional] - Ragel
$ git clone [email protected]:datasift/served.git
$ mkdir served.build && cd served.build
$ cmake ../served && makeThe most basic example of creating a server and handling a HTTP GET for the path /hello:
#include <served/served.hpp>
int main(int argc, char const* argv[]) {
// Create a multiplexer for handling requests
served::multiplexer mux;
// GET /hello
mux.handle("/hello")
.get([](served::response & res, const served::request & req) {
res << "Hello world!";
});
// Create the server and run with 10 handler threads.
served::net::server server("127.0.0.1", "8080", mux);
server.run(10);
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}To test the above example, you could run the following command from a terminal:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/hello -ivhYou can also use named path variables for REST parameters:
mux.handle("/users/{id}")
.get([](served::response & res, const served::request & req) {
res << "User: " << req.params["id"];
});To test the above example, you could run the following command from a terminal:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/users/dave -ivhIf you need to be more specific, you can specify a pattern to use to validate the parameter:
mux.handle("/users/{id:\\d+}")
.get([](served::response & res, const served::request & req) {
res << "id: " << req.params["id"];
});To test the above example, you could run the following command from a terminal:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/users/1 -ivhMethod handlers can have arbitrary complexity:
mux.handle("/users/{id:\\d+}/{property}/{value:[a-zA-Z]+")
.get([](served::response & res, const served::request & req) {
// handler logic
});If you want to automatically log requests, you could use a plugin (or make your own):
#include <served/plugins.hpp>
// ...
mux.use_after(served::plugin::access_log);You can also access the other elements of the request, including headers and components of the URI:
mux.handle("/posts/{id:\\d+}")
.post([](served::response & res, const served::request & req) {
if (req.header("Content-Type") != "application/json") {
served::response::stock_reply(400, res);
return;
}
res << req.url().fragment();
