Implementing compability

[ConstNW]

Hi! I found your project very interesting and useful, but i have a questions about your vision of the weblink. Did you make it api compatible with nodejs http-server or similar to fastify framework?

Hey! That is amazing to hear that it's been useful 😄. As for vision I've made it similar to Express/Fastify, unfortunately Haxe doesn't support parameter overloading so I can't make the api compatible fully with any of the nodjs libraries. I am still trying to cement a solid api to go forward with, perhaps you would have some input on which one you would prefer?

Example of a POST request relay:

0. what it currently looks like, I think app.get makes it confusing it also calls the function for post as well.

   app.get(function(request,response)
   {
   switch (request.method)
   {
       case Post:
       switch (request.path)
       {
           case "/":
           response.sendBytes(request.data);
       }
       default:
   }
   });

1. fixes the confusion of app.get but still a decent amount of boiler plate code to do this.

   app.create(function(request,response)
   {
   switch (request.method)
   {
       case Post:
       switch (request.path)
       {
           case "/":
           response.sendBytes(request.data);
       }
       default:
   }
   });

2. express way get and post are defined by app callback functions, but still uses switch statement for path.

   app.post(function(request,response)
   {
   switch (request.path)
   {
       case "/":
       response.sendBytes(request.data);
   }
   });

3. all of the way everything gets defined upfront no more switch statements. but doesn't easily allow query() calls inside where you could get parameters via the url, example: "/search?text=hello%person" = (path = "/search" and query = {text: "hello person"}).

   app.post("/", function(request,response)
   {
   response.sendBytes(request.data);
   }

@ConstNW update I picked option 2. I hope it works well let me know what you think, I also added some features like query() for url params and serve static files.
