Open Source C Libraries

Like libevent, libev, and libuv, libhv provides event loop with non-blocking IO and timer, but simpler api and richer protocols. Cross-platform (Linux, Windows, MacOS, BSD, Solaris, Android, iOS) High-performance EventLoop (IO, timer, idle, custom) TCP/UDP client/server/proxy. TCP supports heartbeat, reconnect, upstream, MultiThread-safe write and close, etc. Built-in common unpacking modes (FixedLength, Delimiter, LengthField) RUDP support: WITH_KCP. SSL/TLS support: (via WITH_OPENSSL or WITH_GNUTLS or WITH_MBEDTLS) HTTP client/server (support https http1/x http2 grpc). HTTP supports static service, indexof service, proxy service, sync/async API handler. HTTP supports RESTful, router, middleware, keep-alive, chunked, SSE, etc. WebSocket client/server.

The Acl (Advanced C/C++ Library) project a is powerful multi-platform network communication library and service framework, supporting LINUX, WIN32, Solaris, FreeBSD, MacOS, AndroidOS, iOS. Many applications written by Acl run on these devices with Linux, Windows, iPhone and Android and serve billions of users. There are some important modules in Acl project, including network communcation, server framework, application protocols, multiple coders, etc. The common protocols such as HTTP/SMTP/ICMP//MQTT/Redis/Memcached/Beanstalk/Handler Socket are implemented in Acl, and the codec library such as XML/JSON/MIME/BASE64/UUCODE/QPCODE/RFC2047/RFC1035, etc., are also included in Acl. Acl also provides a unified abstract interface for popular databases such as Mysql, Postgresql, Sqlite. Using Acl library users can write database applications more easily, quickly and safely.
