About:
kcgi is a minimalist C library for building web applications, supporting both CGI and FastCGI interfaces. It provides a secure and efficient framework for handling HTTP requests, parsing input, and generating HTML or JSON responses without heavy dependencies. Its primary value is enabling the creation of small, secure, and high-performance web services in C.
Key Features:
  • Supports both CGI and FastCGI standards
  • Zero-dependency and lightweight C library
  • Built-in security features like parameter sanitization
  • Simple API for routing and request handling
Use Cases:
  • Developing high-performance CGI scripts in C
  • Building lightweight FastCGI backends for web servers
  • Creating secure web utilities for constrained environments
Alternatives:
  • fcgi – kcgi is more modern and security-focused, while fcgi is the older, more established FastCGI library.
  • libmicrohttpd – libmicrohttpd is an embedded HTTP server library, whereas kcgi is designed specifically for CGI/FastCGI workflows.
