Welcome to the min-server project!
The min-server project aims to provide a series of minimalistic implementations of common server-side applications
to help beginners understand the underlying logic of APIs by providing easy-to-understand code and documentations.
Subprojects
MinHTTP
Flask-like, minimalistic implementation of HTTP server from the socket level using Python.
MinWebSocket
🥳 To be implemented, stay tuned!
Why min-server?
Modern server applications and frameworks are extremely sophisticated. Although those careful engineering makes them powerful and production-ready, it can be overwhelming for beginners to understand the underlying logic of server applications from the source code.
That's why we started min-server! The aim of min-server is to cut away the complexity and focus on the core flow of server applications, such as connection establishments, routing and handling messages. By understanding the basics with the source code and documentation, you can dive into more sophisticated frameworks with ease.
Because of the reasons mentioned above, min-server is not designed for production use. Some mechanisms such as authentication are largely simplified or even omitted.
Do not use min-server in production environments!
