An HTTP server as fast
This package is still under construction
- An HTTP server made from scratch
- This problem handled
- etc.
As a refresher for Java programming language I decided to make an HTTP server from scratch to enhance my Java programming experience and learn more about HTTP servers, Java concurrency, and lambda expressions.
For now this package only supports GET method. But other methods will be added eventually.
This package hasn't been published yet on any Java package repository.
Be sure to have JDK 7 installed.
Setup the server by creating the server object and set the port number and the number of threads you want your server to work with. Then, implement the REST endpoints "aka routes".
First setup the server
Server server = new Server(portNumber, numberOfThreads);This is how you can implement a GET route with the router.get method and pass the URI and a lambda function as parameters.
server.router.get("/hello", (req, res) -> {
try {
res.sendMessage("hello world");
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
});The Router class has the following methods for setting up endpoints.
| Method |
|---|
get(String uri, BiConsumer<Request, Response> handler)Implement a GET endpoint |
post(String uri, BiConsumer<Request, Response> handler)Implement a POST endpoint |
patch(String uri, BiConsumer<Request, Response> handler)Implement a PATCH endpoint |
delete(String uri, BiConsumer<Request, Response> handler)Implement a DELETE endpoint |
- Add other HTTP methods (GET, POST, DELETE, and UPDATE are added but there are more methods).
- Add support for HTTP headers.
- Make the server to be able to serve static files.
