KLone is a fully-featured, multiplatform, web application development framework, targeted especially for embedded systems and appliances.
It is a self-contained solution which includes a web server and an SDK for creating WWW sites with both static and dynamic content. When using KLone, there's absolutely no need for any additional component: neither the HTTP/S server (e.g. Apache, Netscape, Roxen), nor the typical active pages engine (PHP, Perl, ASP, Python).
KLone does everything, and does it fast and small.
KLone blends the HTTP/S server application together with its content and configuration into a single executable file. The site developer writes his/her dynamic pages in C/C++ (in usual scripting style: <% /* code */ %>) and uses KLone to transform them into embeddable, compressed native code with the native C/C++ compiler. The result is then linked to the HTTP/S server skeleton to obtain one single, ROM-able, binary file. This means that he/she can get:
- easy, complete and unfiltered interaction with the host operating
system
- dynamic pages in native compiled code, which in turn implies
- fast execution and
- small overall application footprint
- all of this without giving up the common functionality of web
application frameworks such as sessions, parsing of form
variables, cookies, etc
This package has examples and API documentation for KLone.
