|
|
|
|
Mongoose is a network library for C/C++.
|
|
It implements event-driven
|
|
non-blocking APIs for TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT. It is designed for
|
|
connecting devices and bringing them online. On the market since 2004, used by
|
|
vast number of open source and commercial products - it even runs on the
|
|
International Space Station! Mongoose makes embedded network programming fast,
|
|
robust, and easy. Features include:
|
|
|
|
- Cross-platform:
|
|
- works on Linux/UNIX, MacOS, Windows, Android
|
|
- works on STM32, NXP, ESP32, NRF52, TI, Microchip, and other
|
|
- write code once - and it'll work everywhere
|
|
- ideal for the unification of the network infrastructure code across company
|
|
- Built-in protocols: plain TCP/UDP, HTTP, MQTT, Websocket
|
|
- SSL/TLS support: mbedTLS, OpenSSL or custom (via API)
|
|
- Asynchronous DNS resolver
|
|
- Tiny static and run-time footprint
|
|
- Source code is both ISO C and ISO C++ compliant
|
|
- Very easy to integrate: just copy `mongoose.c` and `mongoose.h` files to your source tree. See
|
|
[exact steps](https://mongoose.ws/documentation/#2-minute-integration-guide)
|
|
- Works with any network stack with socket API, like LwIP or FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP
|
|
- Provides a built-in TCP/IP stack with drivers for bare metal or RTOS systems
|
|
- A complete Web device dashboard
|
|
[bare metal example on Nucleo-F429ZI](examples/stm32/nucleo-f429zi-baremetal)
|
|
is only 6 files
|
|
- For comparison, a CubeIDE generated HTTP example is 400+ files
|
|
- Detailed [user guide, API reference and tons of tutorials](https://mongoose.ws/documentation/) available
|
|
|

# Security
|
|
|
|
We take security seriously:
|
|
1. Mongoose repository runs a
|
|
[continuous integration test powered by GitHub](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/actions),
|
|
which runs through hundreds of unit tests on every commit to the repository.
|
|
Our [unit tests](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/tree/master/test)
|
|
are built with modern address sanitizer technologies, which help to find
|
|
security vulnerabilities early
|
|
2. Mongoose repository is integrated into Google's
|
|
[oss-fuzz continuous fuzzer](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?sort=-opened&can=1&q=proj:mongoose)
|
|
which scans for potential vulnerabilities continuously
|
|
3. We receive periodic vulnerability reports from the independent security
|
|
groups like
|
|
[Cisco Talos](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/talos.html),
|
|
[Microsoft Security Response Center](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc),
|
|
[MITRE Corporation](https://www.mitre.org/),
|
|
[Compass Security](https://www.compass-security.com/en/) and others.
|
|
In case of the vulnerability found, we act according to the industry best
|
|
practice: hold on to the publication, fix the software and notify all our
|
|
customers that have an appropriate subscription
|
|
4. Some of our customers (for example NASA)
|
|
have specific security requirements and run independent security audits,
|
|
of which we get notified and in case of any issue, act similar to (3).
