Mongoose is a network library for C/C++. It provides event-driven non-blocking
APIs for TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT, and other protocols. It is designed
for connecting devices and bringing them online. On the market since 2004, used
by vast number of open source and commercial products - it even runs on the
2020-12-06 21:12:05 +00:00
International Space Station! Mongoose makes embedded network programming fast,
2021-05-04 13:46:44 +01:00

## Usage Examples
Below are quick snippets that should give an idea how simple the API is and
how easy it is to create applications with it.
2021-05-04 13:46:44 +01:00
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
Create a simple web server that serves a directory. The behavior of the
HTTP server is specified by its event handler function:
```c
2024-03-25 08:52:59 +00:00
#include "mongoose.h" // To build, run: cc main.c mongoose.c
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
// HTTP server event handler function
2024-03-25 08:52:59 +00:00
void ev_handler(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data) {
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) {
struct mg_http_message *hm = (struct mg_http_message *) ev_data;
struct mg_http_serve_opts opts = { .root_dir = "./web_root/" };
mg_http_serve_dir(c, hm, &opts);
}
}
2024-03-25 08:52:59 +00:00
int main(void) {
struct mg_mgr mgr; // Declare event manager
mg_mgr_init(&mgr); // Initialise event manager
mg_http_listen(&mgr, "http://0.0.0.0:8000", ev_handler, NULL); // Setup listener
for (;;) { // Run an infinite event loop
mg_mgr_poll(&mgr, 1000);
}
return 0;
}
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
```
2024-01-10 11:01:20 +00:00
HTTP server implements a REST API that returns current time. JSON formatting:
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
```c
2024-03-25 08:52:59 +00:00
static void ev_handler(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data) {
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) {
struct mg_http_message *hm = (struct mg_http_message *) ev_data;
2024-09-16 11:06:08 -03:00
if (mg_match(hm->uri, mg_str("/api/time/get"), NULL)) {
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
mg_http_reply(c, 200, "", "{%m:%lu}\n", MG_ESC("time"), time(NULL));
} else {
mg_http_reply(c, 500, "", "{%m:%m}\n", MG_ESC("error"), MG_ESC("Unsupported URI"));
}
}
}
```

MQTT client that subscribes to a topic `device1/rx` and
echoes incoming messages to `device1/tx`:
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
```c
2024-05-18 12:09:51 +01:00
#include "mongoose.h"
static const char *s_mqtt_url = "mqtt://broker.hivemq.com:1883";
static struct mg_connection *s_mqtt_conn = NULL;
// MQTT connection event handler function
2024-03-25 08:52:59 +00:00
static void ev_handler(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data) {
2024-05-18 12:09:51 +01:00
if (ev == MG_EV_OPEN) {
MG_INFO(("%lu created, connecting to %s ...", c->id, s_mqtt_url));
} else if (ev == MG_EV_MQTT_OPEN) {
struct mg_mqtt_opts opts = {.qos = 1, .topic = mg_str("device1/rx")};
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
mg_mqtt_sub(c, &opts);
2024-05-18 12:09:51 +01:00
MG_INFO(("%lu connected, subscribing to %s", c->id, opts.topic.buf));
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
} else if (ev == MG_EV_MQTT_MSG) {
2024-05-18 12:09:51 +01:00
char response[100];
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
struct mg_mqtt_message *mm = (struct mg_mqtt_message *) ev_data;
2024-05-18 12:09:51 +01:00
struct mg_mqtt_opts opts = {.qos = 1, .topic = mg_str("device1/tx")};
mg_snprintf(response, sizeof(response), "Received [%.*s] / [%.*s]",
mm->topic.len, mm->topic.buf, mm->data.len, mm->data.buf);
opts.message = mg_str(response);
mg_mqtt_pub(c, &opts);
} else if (ev == MG_EV_CLOSE) {
MG_INFO(("%u closing", c->id));
s_mqtt_conn = NULL;
}
}
// Reconnection timer function. If we get disconnected, reconnect again
static void timer_fn(void *arg) {
struct mg_mgr *mgr = (struct mg_mgr *) arg;
if (s_mqtt_conn == NULL) {
struct mg_mqtt_opts opts = {.clean = true};
s_mqtt_conn = mg_mqtt_connect(mgr, s_mqtt_url, &opts, ev_handler, NULL);
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
}
}
2024-05-18 12:09:51 +01:00
int main() {
struct mg_mgr mgr; // Mongoose event manager. Holds all connections
mg_mgr_init(&mgr); // Initialise event manager
mg_timer_add(&mgr, 3000, MG_TIMER_REPEAT | MG_TIMER_RUN_NOW, timer_fn, &mgr);
for (;;) {
mg_mgr_poll(&mgr, 1000); // Infinite event loop
}
return 0;
}
2024-01-10 10:58:26 +00:00
```

## Security
2021-05-04 13:46:44 +01:00
We take security seriously:
1. Mongoose repository runs a
[continuous integration test powered by GitHub](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/actions),
which runs through hundreds of unit tests on every commit to the repository.
Our [unit tests](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/tree/master/test)
are built with modern address sanitizer technologies, which help to find
security vulnerabilities early
2. Mongoose repository is integrated into Google's
[oss-fuzz continuous fuzzer](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?sort=-opened&can=1&q=proj:mongoose)
which scans for potential vulnerabilities continuously
3. We receive periodic vulnerability reports from the independent security
groups like
[Cisco Talos](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/talos.html),
[Microsoft Security Response Center](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc),
[MITRE Corporation](https://www.mitre.org/),
[Compass Security](https://www.compass-security.com/en/) and others.
In case of the vulnerability found, we act according to the industry best
practice: hold on to the publication, fix the software and notify all our
2021-05-04 13:55:45 +01:00
customers that have an appropriate subscription
2021-05-04 17:02:46 +01:00
4. Some of our customers (for example NASA)
2021-05-04 13:46:44 +01:00
have specific security requirements and run independent security audits,
of which we get notified and in case of any issue, act similar to (3).
