Mongoose is a network library for C/C++.
It implements event-driven
non-blocking APIs for TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT. It is designed for
connecting devices and bringing them online. On the market since 2004, used by
vast number of open source and commercial products - it even runs on the
International Space Station! Mongoose makes embedded network programming fast,
robust, and easy. Features include:
- Cross-platform:
- works on Linux/UNIX, MacOS, Windows, Android
- works on STM32, NXP, ESP32, NRF52, TI, Microchip, and other
- write code once - and it'll work everywhere
- ideal for the unification of the network infrastructure code across company
- Built-in protocols: plain TCP/UDP, SNTP, HTTP, MQTT, Websocket
- SSL/TLS support for mbedTLS and OpenSSL
- Asynchronous DNS resolver
- Tiny static and run-time footprint
- Source code is both ISO C and ISO C++ compliant
- Very easy to integrate: just copy `mongoose.c` and `mongoose.h` files to your source tree. See
[exact steps](https://mongoose.ws/documentation/#2-minute-integration-guide)
- Works in any environment with socket API, like LwIP, Zephyr, Azure
- Built-in TCP/IP stack with drivers for bare metal or RTOS systems
- Available drivers: STM32F, STM32H; NXP RT1xxx; TI TM4C; Microchip SAME54; Wiznet W5500
- A complete Web device dashboard on bare metal
[Nucleo-F429ZI](examples/stm32/nucleo-f429zi-baremetal) is only 6 files
- For comparison, a CubeIDE generated HTTP example is 400+ files
- Built-in TLS 1.3 server-side support
- Does not depend on any other software to implement networking
- Built-in firmware updates for STM32H5, STM32H7, and more coming
- Detailed [user guide, API reference and tons of tutorials](https://mongoose.ws/documentation/)
## Usage
Create a simple web server that serves a directory. The behavior of the
HTTP server is specified by its event handler function:
```c
#include "mongoose.h"
int main(void) {
struct mg_mgr mgr; // Declare event manager
mg_mgr_init(&mgr); // Initialise event manager
mg_http_listen(&mgr, "http://0.0.0.0:8000", fn, NULL); // Setup listener
for (;;) {
mg_mgr_poll(&mgr, 1000); // Run an infinite event loop
}
return 0;
}
// HTTP server event handler function
void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data) {
if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) {
struct mg_http_message *hm = (struct mg_http_message *) ev_data;
struct mg_http_serve_opts opts = { .root_dir = "./web_root/" };
mg_http_serve_dir(c, hm, &opts);
}
}
```
HTTP server implements a REST API that returns current time. JSON formatting:
```c
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data) {
if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) {
struct mg_http_message *hm = (struct mg_http_message *) ev_data;
if (mg_http_match_uri(hm, "/api/time/get")) {
mg_http_reply(c, 200, "", "{%m:%lu}\n", MG_ESC("time"), time(NULL));
} else {
mg_http_reply(c, 500, "", "{%m:%m}\n", MG_ESC("error"), MG_ESC("Unsupported URI"));
}
}
}
```
MQTT client that subscribes to a topic `aa/bb` and prints all incoming messages:
```c
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data) {
if (ev == MG_EV_MQTT_OPEN) {
struct mg_mqtt_opts opts = {.qos = 1, .topic = mg_str("aa/bb")};
mg_mqtt_sub(c, &opts);
} else if (ev == MG_EV_MQTT_MSG) {
struct mg_mqtt_message *mm = (struct mg_mqtt_message *) ev_data;
printf("Topic: %.*s, Message: %.*s",
mm->topic.len, mm->topic.ptr,
mm->data.len, mm->data.ptr);
}
}
```
## Commercial use
- Mongoose is used by hundreds of businesses, from Fortune500 giants like
Siemens, Schneider Electric, Broadcom, Bosch, Google, Samsung, Qualcomm, Caterpillar to the small businesses
- Used to solve a wide range of business needs, like implementing Web UI
interface on devices, RESTful API services, telemetry data exchange, remote
control for a product, remote software updates, remote monitoring, and others
- Deployed to hundreds of millions devices in production environment worldwide
- See [Case Studies](https://mongoose.ws/case-studies/) from our respected
customers like [Schneider Electric](https://mongoose.ws/case-studies/schneider-electric/) (industrial automation), [Broadcom](https://mongoose.ws/case-studies/broadcom/) (semiconductors), [Pilz](https://mongoose.ws/case-studies/pilz/) (industrial automation), and others
- See [Testimonials](https://mongoose.ws/testimonials/) from engineers that integrated Mongoose in their commercial products
- We provide [Evaluation and Commercial licensing](https://mongoose.ws/licensing/), [support](https://mongoose.ws/support/), consultancy and [integration
services](https://mongoose.ws/integration/) - don't hesitate to [contact us](https://mongoose.ws/contact/)
## Security
We take security seriously:
1. Mongoose repository runs a
[continuous integration test powered by GitHub](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/actions),
which runs through hundreds of unit tests on every commit to the repository.
Our [unit tests](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/tree/master/test)
are built with modern address sanitizer technologies, which help to find
security vulnerabilities early
2. Mongoose repository is integrated into Google's
[oss-fuzz continuous fuzzer](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?sort=-opened&can=1&q=proj:mongoose)
which scans for potential vulnerabilities continuously
3. We receive periodic vulnerability reports from the independent security
groups like
[Cisco Talos](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/talos.html),
[Microsoft Security Response Center](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc),
[MITRE Corporation](https://www.mitre.org/),
[Compass Security](https://www.compass-security.com/en/) and others.
In case of the vulnerability found, we act according to the industry best
practice: hold on to the publication, fix the software and notify all our
customers that have an appropriate subscription
4. Some of our customers (for example NASA)
have specific security requirements and run independent security audits,
of which we get notified and in case of any issue, act similar to (3).
