Portable pure JavaScript ES6 HTTP library. Includes fast streaming regex-free parser for HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1.

• pure JavaScript (ES6/2015)
• high-performance and low-level, no stream abstractions
• portable, multiple backends support (Node.js/other platforms)

npm install eshttp

Requires ES6/2015 JS engine (Node.js 4.0). Example web server using eshttp:

'use strict'; const eshttp = require('eshttp'); const server = new eshttp.HttpServer(); const response = new eshttp.HttpResponse(200, { 'x-header': 'value' }, 'hello'); server.onrequest = request => { request.respondWith(response); }; server.listen(8080);

• parser improvements
• chunked responses
• fetch api

Construct immutable HTTP response object that can be reused multiple times to serve different clients.

const response = new eshttp.HttpResponse(200, { server: 'eshttp' }, 'OK.');

Represents immutable HTTP request.

Construct immutable HTTP request object that can be reused multiple times.

const request = new eshttp.HttpRequest('GET', '/', { 'User-Agent': 'eshttp' });

Represents HTTP server.

Construct HTTP server object.

const server = new eshttp.HttpServer();
