Web development as a breeze

breeze is fast, lightweight, powerful, very easy to use web framework that uses lua as a scripting language embedded in C++ server. Server uses libevent for asynchronous and efficient network communication, but requests are executed in thread pool that allows to execute requests synchronously.

Features:

• high performance

• support for rapid development

• seamless JSON support

• OOP architecture gives great flexibility and extensibility

Installing

git clone git://github.com/sergeyzavadski/breeze.git
cd breeze
./configure
sudo make install

Using

edit and save file helloworld.lua:

require 'breeze'

HelloWorldHandler = class('HelloWorldHandler', Handler)

function HelloWorldHandler:get()
    response.body = {hello='world'}
end 


breeze.addHandler{path='/hello', handler=HelloWorldHandler}

run

breeze helloworld.lua

Now there is a webserver running that responds with text 'Hello world' on url http://localhost:8080/hello. To test
