7158 :: std/asynchttpserver or httpbeast

  I'm considering what to build my http server on.

  Jester is a good choice. Prologue, perhaps, too. We think, thank, We don't need a sinatra|express|flask -like framework.

  So I choose between stdl/asyncHttpServer and httpBeast. Btw: Jester uses both of these libraries.

  What's the difference between its?

  I think, that asyncHttpServer does not support threads?

  thanks

  if you need a python asyncio like framework , try https://github.com/bung87/looper , well , it's under development, I'll remove some debug log info if you can wait.

  If you decide to use std/asynchttpserver please use the new API (Nim devel, or one of the upcoming releases).

  httpbeast is written to be as fast as possible (thus uses threads) and supports only Linux/Mac.

  asynchttpserver is a simple implementation which does not support threads and thus doesn't perform as well as httpbeast. Supports all platforms though.

  If you're unsure just use asynchttpserver, it's unlikely you will have problems with performance.
