GCDWebServer is a lightweight GCD based HTTP 1.1 server designed to be embedded in Mac & iOS apps. It was written from scratch with the following goals in mind:

|
|
-* Easy to use and understand architecture with only 4 core classes: server, connection, request and response
|
|
|
+* Easy to use and understand architecture with only 4 core classes: server, connection, request and response (see GCDWebServer Architecture below)
|
|
|
* Well designed API for easy integration and customization
|
|
|
* Entirely built with an event-driven design using [Grand Central Dispatch](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Dispatch) for maximal performance and concurrency
|
|
|
* No dependencies on third-party source code

|
|
|
GCDWebServer is made of only 4 core classes:
|
|
|
* [GCDWebServer](CGDWebServer/GCDWebServer.h) manages the socket that listens for new HTTP connections and the list of handlers used by the server.
|
|
|
* [GCDWebServerConnection](CGDWebServer/GCDWebServerConnection.h) is instantiated by 'GCDWebServer' to handle each new HTTP connection. Each instance stays alive until the connection is closed. You cannot use this class directly, but it is exposed so you can subclass it to override some hooks.
|
|
|
-* [GCDWebServerRequest](CGDWebServer/GCDWebServerRequest.h) is created by the 'GCDWebServerConnection' instance after HTTP headers have been received. It wraps the request and handles the HTTP body if any. GCDWebServer comes with several subclasses of 'GCDWebServerRequest' to handle common cases like storing the body in memory or stream it to a file on disk.
|
|
|
-* [GCDWebServerResponse](CGDWebServer/GCDWebServerResponse.h) is created by the request handler and wraps the response HTTP headers and optional body. GCDWebServer comes with several subclasses of 'GCDWebServerResponse' to handle common cases like HTML text in memory or streaming a file from disk.
