Low-Overhead Sockets & HTTP/1.1 Engine
Low-latency systems networking built directly on OS socket APIs. Provides asynchronous TCP listeners, client socket streams, chunked transfer encoding, connection pooling, and full HTTP/1.1 protocol parsing.
High-Throughput Systems Foundation
Engineered to maximize CPU instruction pipelining and data cache locality. Every algorithm avoids heap pointer indirection wherever contiguous stack or arena buffers can be employed.
