Joris Vink e98a4ddab5 Change how routes are configured in Kore.
Routes are now configured in a context per route:

route /path {
	handler handler_name
	methods get post head
	validate qs:get id v_id
}

All route related configurations are per-route, allowing multiple
routes for the same path (for different methods).

The param context is removed and merged into the route context now
so that you use the validate keyword to specify what needs validating.

About

Kore (https://kore.io) is an easy to use web application platform for writing scalable web APIs in C. Its main goals are security, scalability and allowing rapid development and deployment of such APIs.

Because of this Kore is an ideal candidate for building robust, scalable and secure web things.

Key Features

  • Supports SNI
  • Supports HTTP/1.1
  • Websocket support
  • Privseps by default
  • TLS enabled by default
  • Optional background tasks
  • Built-in parameter validation
  • Optional asynchronous PostgreSQL support
  • Optional support for page handlers in Python
  • Reload private keys and certificates on-the-fly
  • Automatic X509 certificates via ACME (with privsep)
  • Private keys isolated in separate process (RSA and ECDSA)
  • Default sane TLS ciphersuites (PFS in all major browsers)
  • Modules can be reloaded on-the-fly, even while serving content
  • Worker processes sandboxed on OpenBSD (pledge) and Linux (seccomp)
  • Event driven (epoll/kqueue) architecture with per CPU worker processes
  • Build your web application as a precompiled dynamic library or single binary

And lots more.

Building Kore

Clone this repository or get the latest release at https://kore.io/releases/4.1.0.

Requirements

  • openssl 1.1.1 or libressl 3.x

Requirement for asynchronous curl (optional)

  • libcurl (7.64.0 or higher)

Requirements for background tasks (optional)

  • pthreads

Requirements for pgsql (optional)

  • libpq

Requirements for python (optional)

  • Python 3.6+

Normal compilation and installation:

$ cd kore
$ make
# make install

If you would like to build a specific flavor, you can enable those by setting a shell environment variable before running make.

  • ACME=1 (compiles in ACME support)
  • CURL=1 (compiles in asynchronous curl support)
  • TASKS=1 (compiles in task support)
  • PGSQL=1 (compiles in pgsql support)
  • DEBUG=1 (enables use of -d for debug)
  • NOHTTP=1 (compiles Kore without HTTP support)
  • NOOPT=1 (disable compiler optimizations)
  • JSONRPC=1 (compiles in JSONRPC support)
  • PYTHON=1 (compiles in the Python support)

Note that certain build flavors cannot be mixed together and you will just be met with compilation errors.

Example applications

You can find example applications under examples/.

The examples contain a README file with instructions on how to build or use them.
