About:
Kore is a fast, secure, and easy-to-use web application framework for writing web APIs in C. It provides an integrated asynchronous runtime, allowing developers to build high-performance applications without needing external event loops. The framework handles HTTP/2, WebSockets, and SSL/TLS natively, making it ideal for creating efficient, low-latency backend services.
Key Features:
  • Asynchronous event loop built-in
  • Native HTTP/2 and WebSocket support
  • Integrated SSL/TLS security
  • No external dependencies required
Use Cases:
  • Building high-performance REST APIs
  • Creating real-time backend services
  • Developing secure IoT communication endpoints
Alternatives:
  • libmicrohttpd – Kore provides a more integrated framework with async support, whereas libmicrohttpd is a simpler, lower-level library.
  • Nginx + C – Kore offers a unified development environment, while Nginx requires external tooling and scripting for application logic.
