7271 :: Looper - Another web framework written in Nim

• bung (orginal) [2020-12-20T05:04:07+01:00] view original

  Hi everyone , I'd like to introduce my web framework Looper

  Build upon chronos and serveral excellent projects.

  It self contain a http server pase http streamly which means parsing is buffered, that's the major difference between other known web framework in Nim.

  I have problem generating docs , so check tests and examples for now.

  I notice there's nimble packag named looper so the project name may change in future.

  It's a micro web framework , currently I only focus on core features that a web framework needs, welcome create issue tell me whats your needs that a web framework should have.

  Features:

  • Parse http request streamingly.
  • Parse form streamingly and lazyly.
  • Send file and attachement streamingly.
  • Http Basic auth, Bearer auth , Digest auth(planed).
  • Serve static files (env:StaticDir)
  • Parse JSON lazyly.
  • cookies module.

  Benchmarks against Jester would be interesting to see.

  am not sure how to correct benchmark web framework, since they contains bunch of modules, every module have different performance, Do you have any resource that guide me to complete this ?

  for simple hello world case I can tell you its faster than go's fasthttp

  I am curious to know the reasons behind to choose chronos.

  I like the concept of chronos , I even tried port python similar project twisted to Nim , but fails, because its OOP project. well chronos provide such a abstract layer to me , so I can read and write of StreamTransport, its flexable to me that I can read and write to other kind of transport for internal usage(like write to console or file something ), also easy adapt to third party library if it use similar stream apis.

  Here is an article with some options: https://geekflare.com/web-performance-benchmark/

  You should benchmark static and dynamic URLs. By dynamic, I mean where you can put a variable in the URL such as http://localhost/test/1/page/5 where the URL scheme could be "localhost://test/@test_id/page/@page_id" using Jester's style.

  ok, thanks , so basically I just need test agains router and basic load , I think I can complete this.

  Load testing is also a good way to catch performance regressions.

  I got benchmark result , check https://github.com/bung87/Looper/runs/1585198581?check_suite_focus=true

  click Benchmark project and Benchmark jester, it's lower load than jester , I guess the router slower than jester's , I may benchmark only router part later.
