dox_http_native 3.0.0-alpha.3

Fast native HTTP/1.1 server for Dart and the Dox framework. Rust (hyper) parses HTTP, your handlers stay in Dart. Implements the dart:io HttpServer API.

dox_http_native

A fast HTTP/1.1 server for Dart. Rust (hyper) owns the sockets and parses HTTP. Your handlers stay in Dart.

It implements the dart:io HttpServer, HttpRequest and HttpResponse API, so code written for dart:io works unchanged.

Dox uses it as its default server. You do not need to add it yourself when you use Dox.

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:dox_http_native/dox_http_native.dart';

void main() async {
  NativeHttpServer server = await NativeHttpServer.bind(3000);
  server.listen((HttpRequest req) {
    req.response.write('Hello World');
    req.response.close();
  });
}

• No Rust needed: the build hook downloads a ready-built library (macOS arm64/x64, Linux x64/arm64, Windows x64).
• Use dart run, dart test or dart build cli. dart compile exe does not run build hooks.
• Each isolate can bind the same port (SO_REUSEPORT on Linux, one shared socket on macOS).
• Each isolate has its own dox-http thread. DOX_HTTP_THREAD=shared puts them all on one thread (slower on 2 cores in our tests).
• 400 for bad requests, 431 for headers over 16 KB, 413 for bodies over maxBodySize.
• Not yet: WebSocket upgrade (detachSocket), streaming a response while it is written (the body is sent on close).
