Crate kvarn

An extensible and efficient forward-thinking web server for the future.

Kvarn is a rethought web server tailored for the current needs from web application developers.

It handles several things for you, including

• Content-Type
• Compression of body
• Correct and performant HTTP/1 and HTTP/2
• Common API across HTTP/1 and HTTP/2
• Easy integration with HTTP/2 push promises
• Five types of extensions, all backed with intuitive macros
• Optional encryption with rustls
• Several checks for illegal requests
• cache-control and kvarn-cache-control header limits server cache lifetimes

Getting started

To get started, configure a RunConfig. See the example at RunConfig::execute on how to get a simple web server running.

A battle-tested reference implementation can be found at GitHub. It powers my two websites with minimal resource requirements.

Future plans

See the README @ GitHub and kvarn.org.
