Introducing Scala and Kotlin Support in Socket
Socket now supports Scala and Kotlin, bringing AI-powered threat detection to JVM projects with easy manifest generation and fast, accurate scans.
Bring the middleware and router to native http.
$ npm install --save pure-http
Basic server:
const pureHttp = require('pure-http');
const app = pureHttp();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello world');
});
app.listen(3000);
Existing server:
const http = require('http');
const pureHttp = require('pure-http');
const server = http.createServer();
const app = pureHttp({ server });
app.listen(3000);
Secure server:
const https = require('https');
const pureHttp = require('pure-http');
const server = https.createServer({
key: ...,
cert: ...,
});
const app = pureHttp({ server });
app.listen(3000);

Please remember that your application code is most likely the slowest part of your application! Switching from Express to pure-http will (likely) not guarantee the same performance gains.
