# Overview
|
|
|
|
Mongoose keeps the balance between functionality and
|
|
simplicity by carefully selected list of features:
|
|
|
|
- Works on Windows, Mac, UNIX/Linux, iPhone, Android, and many other platforms
|
|
- Scripting and database support (Lua Server Pages + Sqlite, see
|
|
[page.lp](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/test/page.lp) ),
|
|
which provides ready to go, powerful web development platform in
|
|
one single-click executable with **no dependencies**: forget LAMP!
|
|
- Support for CGI, SSL, Digest (MD5) authorization, Websocket, WEbDAV
|
|
- Resumed download, URL rewrite, file blacklist, IP-based ACL, Windows service
|
|
- Simple and clean embedding API,
|
|
[mongoose.h](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/mongoose.h).
|
|
The source is in single
|
|
[mongoose.c](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/mongoose.c) file
|
|
to make things easy.
|
|
- Extremely lightweight, has a core of under 40kB and tiny runtime footprint
|
|
- Asyncronouns, non-blocking core supporting single- or multi-threaded usage
|
|
- On the market since 2004, stable, mature and tested,
|
|
has dozens of thousands of man-hours invested in continuous improvement
|
|
and refinement
