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, Solaris)
- EventLoop (IO, timer, idle, custom)
- TCP/UDP client/server/proxy
- TCP supports heartbeat, upstream, unpack, MultiThread-safe write and close, etc.
- SSL/TLS support: (via WITH_OPENSSL or WITH_GNUTLS or WITH_MBEDTLS)
- HTTP client/server (support https http1/x http2 grpc)
- HTTP static file service, indexof service, sync/async API handler
- HTTP supports RESTful, URI router, keep-alive, chunked, etc.
- WebSocket client/server
