# <img src="http://cesanta.com/images/mongoose_logo.png" width="64" height="64"> Mongoose Web Server
|
|
|
|
Mongoose is the most easy to use web server on the planet. A web server of choice for Web developers (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc) and Web designers.
|
|
|
|
Mongoose is built on top of Libmongoose embedded library, which can turn
|
|
anything into a web server in 5 minutes worth of effort and few lines of code.
|
|
Libmongoose is used to serve Web GUI on embedded devices, implement RESTful
|
|
services, RPC frameworks (e.g. JSON-RPC), handle telemetry data exchange, and
|
|
perform many other tasks in various different industries including aerospace,
|
|
manufacturing, finance, research, automotive, gaming, IT.
