Sagui is an ideal C library to develop cross-platform HTTP servers. Its core has been developed using the GNU libmicrohttpd, uthash and GnuTLS, that's why it is so fast, compact and useful to run on embedded systems.
- Requests processing through:
- Event-driven - single-thread + main loop + select
- Threaded - one thread per request
- Thread pool - thread pool + select
- High-performance path routing that supports:
- HTTPS support using GnuTLS
- Basic authentication
- Upload/download streaming by:
- Payload - for raw data transferring as JSON, XML and other
- File - for large data transferring as videos, images, binaries and so on
- Dynamic strings (makes it easy strings operations in C)
- String map (fast key-value mapping)
- Fields, parameters, cookies, headers under hash table structure
- Several callbacks for total library customization
Starting from the version 1.0.0, Sagui follows the SemVer rules regarding API changes with backwards compatibility and stable ABI across major releases.

A typical upgrade of the Sagui library does not break the ABI at all. Take a look at the API/ABI compatibility report to compare most recent library versions.
