Zero-Dependency. Performance oriented web-service-development framework.
Organic. Pure C++.

## Features

- Blazingly fast
- Zero Dependency, no installations
- **Asynchronous server (High performance. Handle 30K+ simultaneous connections)**
- Multithreaded server (Simple API)
- Connection agnostic. (Use whatever transport. Whatever SSL backend. Whatever sockets, pipes, files. etc. It cares about HTTP stream only)
- REST framework
- Retrofit-like client wrapper (Use whatever request executor for example cURL, or minimalistic one provided out of the box)
- Object mapping (Fast object serialization-deserialization. Currently JSON, more formats comes shortly)
- Simple dependency injection framework
- Simple Test framework
- HTTP_1.1 (2.0 comes shortly)

## Simple API overview
"Simple API" refers to as API used together with ```oatpp::web::server::HttpConnectionHandler``` utilizing multithreading plus blocking-IO approach. 

### Create Endpoint

```c++
ENDPOINT("GET", "demo/api/hello", hello) {
  return createResponse(Status::CODE_200, "Hello World!");
}
```

### Pass parameters to endpoint

```c++
ENDPOINT("GET", "demo/api/param/{param}", getWithParams,
         PATH(String, param)) {
  return createResponse(Status::CODE_200, "param=" + param);
}
```

### Return JSON

```c++
ENDPOINT("GET", "demo/api/json", getJson) {
  auto dto = MyDto::createShared();
  dto->statusCode = 200;
  dto->message = "Hello json";
  return createDtoResponse(Status::CODE_200, dto);
}
```
**Output:**
```
{"message": "Hello json", "statusCode": 200}
```

### Post JSON body

```c++
ENDPOINT("POST", "demo/api/json", postJson,
         BODY_DTO(MyDto::ObjectWrapper, dto)) {
  auto dtoMessage = dto->message;
  return createResponse(Status::CODE_200, "dtoMessage: " + dtoMessage);
}
```

**Terminal:**

```
$ curl -X POST "localhost:8001/demo/api/json" -d '{"message": "hello json post"}'
dtoMessage: hello json post
```

## Async API overview
"Async API" refers to as API used together with ```oatpp::web::server::AsyncHttpConnectionHandler``` utilizing oatpp-coroutines plus non-blocking-IO approach. 

### Create Endpoint Async
```c++
ENDPOINT_ASYNC("GET", "demo/api_async/hello", HelloAsync) {

  ENDPOINT_ASYNC_INIT(HelloAsync)

  Action act() override {
    return _return(controller->createResponse(Status::CODE_200, "Hello World Async API!"));
  }

};
```

### Pass parameters to endpoint Async
```c++
ENDPOINT_ASYNC("GET", "demo/api_async/param/{param}", GetWithParamsAsync) {

  ENDPOINT_ASYNC_INIT(GetWithParamsAsync)

  Action act() override {
    auto param = request->getPathVariable("param");
    return _return(controller->createResponse(Status::CODE_200, "param=" + param));
  }

};
```

### Return JSON Async
```c++
ENDPOINT_ASYNC("GET", "demo/api_async/json", GetJSONAsync) {

  ENDPOINT_ASYNC_INIT(GetJSONAsync)

  Action act() override {
    auto dto = MyDto::createShared();
    dto->statusCode = 200;
    dto->message = "Hello json";
    return _return(controller->createDtoResponse(Status::CODE_200, dto));
  }

};
```

**Output:**
```
{"message": "Hello json", "statusCode": 200}
```

### Post JSON body Async
```c++
ENDPOINT_ASYNC("POST", "demo/api_async/json", PostJSONAsync) {

  ENDPOINT_ASYNC_INIT(PostJSONAsync)

  Action act() override {
    return request->readBodyToDtoAsync<MyDto>(this,
                                              &PostJSONAsync::onBodyObtained,
                                              controller->getDefaultObjectMapper());
  }

  Action onBodyObtained(const MyDto::ObjectWrapper& dto) {
    return _return(controller->createResponse(Status::CODE_200, "dtoMessage: " + dto->message));
  }

};
```

**Terminal:**
```
$ curl -X POST "localhost:8001/demo/api_async/json" -d '{"message": "hello json post"}'
dtoMessage: hello json post
```
