What does HackerNews think of mongoose?

Also overlaps with mongoose.{c,h} (GPL; not the MongoDB Mongoose) and its fork CivetWeb (MIT license).

I think Mongoose was called mongoose before mongo db plugin existed.

https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose - that's the project from which Mongoose OS stems.

Smart.js is based on two projects:

- V7: a small portable JS VM (https://github.com/cesanta/v7) - mongoose: a portable async multiprotocol networking library (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose)

Both of those projects are independent and have some traction on their own; but you're right that we should make it more explicit. Mongoose is out there since 2004 and is a quite popular embedded http server. We added many other protocols to it, including also COAP and DNS.

Arduino libs are not used because they are not async and not portable.

Honestly I don't know about node-red, sounds interesting; however node's V8 VM is too heavyweight for the smallest devices we aim to support. Smart.js does expose a nodejs-compatible core API wherever possible, so it might be possible to port node-red to it.

Mongoose is a web server. See https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose. It's obviously not https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose.

Here are the links, to save you from the digging:

MQTT API is on it's way, it's already implemented by the underlying networking library (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose)

I am big fan of the mongoose server[0]. This python thing has issues handling concurrent requests, but i use it as a fallback, if mongoose is not installed.
