High performance web framework built with uvloop and httptools
In Xweb, everything is asynchronous.
Features
- High performance.
- Asynchronous.
- Small.
Requirements
- Python3.6+
Installation
pip install xweb
Get Started
Hello World
from xweb import App
app = App()
@app.use
async def response(ctx):
ctx.res.body = "Hello World"
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.listen(8000)
Example with middleware.
A middleware is an async function or an async callable object which looks like: async def logger(ctx, fn)
# app.py
import time
from xweb import App
app = App()
@app.use
async def logger(ctx, fn):
await fn()
rt = ctx['X-Response-Time']
print(rt)
@app.use
async def response_time(ctx, fn):
start = time.time()
await fn()
usage = (time.time() - start) * 1000_000
ctx['X-Response-Time'] = f'{usage:.0f}µs'
@app.use
async def response(ctx):
ctx.res.body = "Hello World"
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.listen(8000)
App
- app.use(fn)
- app.listen(host='127.0.0.1', port=8000, debug=True)
Context
- ctx.req
- ctx.res
- ctx.send
- ctx.abort(self, status, msg="", properties="")
- ctx.check(self, value, status=400, msg='', properties="")
Request
ctx.req is a Request object.
- ctx.req.headers dict
- ctx.req.method str
- ctx.req.url str
- ctx.req.raw bytes
- ctx.req.ip str
Response
ctx.res is a Request object.
- ctx.res.body str
- ctx.res.status int
- ctx.res.msg str
- ctx.res.headers dict

Contributing
Build Middleware.
XWeb is inspired by koajs. I need some help for writing middleware as in koa. For example:
- Body parser. Convert the raw bytes body into dict or file.
- Data validator. Async data validator with high performance.
- Router. High performance router like koa-router.
- etc..
Open issue.
- Suggestion.
- Bug.
