Features

Fast: Binserve is designed to be performant, this is thanks to Actix-Web - one of the fastest web frameworks out there and DashMap for handling routes and the cache storage.
Portability: Binserve is cross-platform and portable to any major operating system, like it can run on your Android phone!
Routing: Routing is simply matching a URI path to a file or a directory in a JSON file.
Templating: You can write templates and partials using Handlebars.
Hot Reload: You can reload your configuration (routes) and static files with no downtime.
Caching: Binserve's performance is achieved due to minimization of Disk I/O operations at runtime (with fast_mem_cache enabled) and serving static files from memory. On the client-side, Cache-Control, Etag, and Last-Modified are utilized.
Security: Prevents common attack vectors like Directory Traversal and Symlink Attacks.
