libstutter is a C++ library for writing HTTP services, released under the 2-clause BSD license. It uses libevent for its event loop, Joyent’s http-parser to decode HTTP requests, and coroutines to switch between clients.
The aim of this library is to provide an easy way to write non-blocking HTTP servers in modern C++ without having to choose between a purely event-driven model that can be difficult to follow and a purely synchronous approach which incurs a heavier overhead per connection. libstutter uses coroutines to stop running threads before they do any blocking IO on a given file descriptor and resume their execution when the descriptor becomes available.
libstutter currently lacks documentation and tests and its API is likely to change in the future. The stability and code quality are currently at a “pre-alpha” level.
