ffead-cpp – web framework, application framework

ffead-cpp is a web-framework, application framework, utilities all bundled into one. It also provides an embedded HTTP/Web-Socket compliant high-performance server core. It is a collection of modules all geared towards performing individual roles which together form the cohesive back-bone of ffead-cpp.

It provides a very simple to use and maintain web-framework library with advanced features like Reflection, Dependency Injection (IOC), Inbuilt REST/SOAP support, Security/Authentication features. Moreover implementation for interfacing to caching tools like Memcached/Redis are provided in-built. Database integration/ORM framework (SDORM) solves all major issues with respect to interfacing with SQL/No-SQL database alike.

Multi-level serialization or template level serialization is a high point of ffead-cpp core serialization run-time. Any C++ POCO class can be marked as serializable and the run-time will take care of marshalling/un-marshalling the object to its intended serializable form and back(JSON/XML/BINARY).

Features include:

  • Multiple server backends (HTTP 1.1/HTTP 2/HTTP 3).
  • Support for multiple I/O event notification engines:
    • io_uring – Linux kernel >= 5.6.
    • epoll – Linux.
    • kqueue – BSD/MacOS.
    • event_ports/devpoll – Solaris.
    • wepoll – Windows (IOCP based epoll library).
    • poll/select – On all platforms that support these API’s.
  • Embedded HTTP Server with single process and thread-pool backends.
  • SSL/TLS support.
  • Web Socket Support.
  • Advanced ORM – SDORM (sql/monogo).
  • Raw database access (postgresql/mongodb/scylladb).
  • PostgreSQL wire database access.
  • Cache API (memcached/redis).
  • Improved Thread/ThreadPool API(s).
  • Marker based configuration (java style annotations).
  • Reflection support.
  • Serialization support.
  • Date/Time Utility functions.
  • Dependency Injection.
  • Serverside dynamic C++ Pages and template engine (HTML/C++ pages).
  • Sample app for Webrtc Signalling (websocket + api) (horizontally scalable peerjs compatible signalling server).
  • Embedded HTTP2.0 Server support (experimental).
