Mongoose - Embedded Web Server / Embedded Networking Library

License: GPLv2/Commercial Build Status Code Coverage Fuzzing Status

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:

Usage

Create a simple web server that serves a directory. The behavior of the HTTP server is specified by its event handler function:

#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:

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:

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);
  }
}

Security

We take security seriously:

  1. Mongoose repository runs a continuous integration test powered by GitHub, which runs through hundreds of unit tests on every commit to the repository. Our unit tests 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 which scans for potential vulnerabilities continuously
  3. We receive periodic vulnerability reports from the independent security groups like Cisco Talos, Microsoft Security Response Center, MITRE Corporation, Compass Security 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).
