Exyus
The goal is to create a light-weight highly-scalable HTTP server framework that is fully REST-compliant. The code will be built using C# (on Win32 to start) and have optional dependencies on SQL-based database (MS SQL to start).
Version 0.06 Posted
(2008-03-16) This version has the database support (via XmlSqlResource) built-in. Now you can use MS-SQL Server (2005+) as a data store. Check out the User Group Data Example to see it in action.

Features
The current version of Exyus has the following features:
- Resource-oriented coding - you create inbound endpoints by creating resource classes
- Built-in support for standard HTTP Methods (GET,HEAD,PUT,POST,DELETE,OPTION as resource methods)
- Url-Mapping - Resource classes can support multiple Uri patterns (via regular expressions)
- Multiple Representations - The same resource can support any number of Content Types (XML, JSON, Atom, HTML, etc.)
- Caching Support - Mark your resource to support Validation and/or Expiration caching
- Authentication - Supports Digest and Basic Auth
- Authorization - Map Urls and HTTP Methods for user access
- Compression - Automatically supports gzip/deflate per client headers.
- Built-in HTTPClient - Perform direct HTTP requests against other HTTP servers.
Quick Example
Using the Exyus engine means you can define a read/write resource that allows live editing (tested w/ Amaya browser) with just the following C# code:
using System;
using Exyus.Web;
namespace Exyus.Editable
{
// full read/write via PUT w/ ETags
[UriPattern(@"/editable/(?<docid>[^/?]*)?(?:\.xcs)(?:[?])?(?:.*)?")]
[MediaTypes("text/html","application/json","application/atom+xml")]
public class editPages : XmlFileResource
{
public editPages()
{
this.ContentType = "text/html";
this.UpdateMediaTypes = new string[] { "text/html" };
this.AllowPost = false;
this.AllowCreateOnPut = true;
this.DocumentsFolder = "~/documents/editable/";
this.StorageFolder = "~/storage/editable/";
this.XHtmlNodes = new string[] { "//body" };
this.LocalMaxAge = 600;
this.ImmediateCacheUriTemplates = new string[]
{
"/editable/.xcs",
"/editable/{docid}.xcs"
};
}
}
}
