About:
Webify is a lightweight utility that wraps standard shell commands, exposing them as HTTP web services. It automatically handles request parsing, response formatting, and error handling, allowing developers to quickly create APIs from existing scripts or command-line tools without writing boilerplate server code.
Key Features:
  • Converts CLI commands to HTTP endpoints automatically
  • Supports GET and POST methods with parameter mapping
  • Lightweight and dependency-free for easy deployment
  • Streams command output directly to HTTP responses
Use Cases:
  • Creating quick internal APIs from legacy scripts
  • Exposing system monitoring or admin tools via web interface
  • Building prototypes for command-line applications as web services
Alternatives:
  • Flask – Full-featured web framework requiring manual API development vs Webify's automatic command wrapping
  • netcat – Generic network tool requiring custom scripting vs Webify's purpose-built command-to-API conversion
