Wire

Wire is a quick, easy & extremely light-weight WebAPI framework. As an alternative to ASP.NET MVC, NancyFx, Nina, Sinatra and others. .NET based ofc.

Setup

PM> Install-Package Wire.NET

Code Example

Wire Supports all the standard http requests, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, PATCH. and setting up a request is fast too.

using Wire;

// Start the server
var server = new WireHTTPServer();

// Sample API endpoint
API.GET("/info/{message}", x => new { Message = x.Parameters.message });

// Wait for key press to terminate program
server.Wait();

so in the example of http://localhost/info/OK would return a json reponse as { Message: "OK" }

API.POST("/blog/post", x => BlogRepository.Save(x.Body.As<Post>()));

Save the body of the post to your post repositoty in this instance.

API.GET("/blog/posts", x => MyBlogPosts.Where(y => y.name.contains(x.QueryString["q"]))));

If we need to filter something out. in the case of http://localhost/blog/posts?q=first

Motivation

I like that the core essential need of applications to have a web endpoint. so a console app can have a single json endpoint as sampled above without the need of a huge and heavy framework as ASP.NET MVC. I liked how nancy decorated the reqests in to action parameters. It gave an illution of control. Modules and bootstraps. I needed a neat solution where i just throw a request to an object as above. which can be incrementally added.

for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
   API.GET("/"+i, x => new { Count = ${i} });
}

API bindings can be replaced runtime as well, so if something is mapped to /hello and you map another function to an existing mapping its replaced.

Experimental

Experimental implimentation of an ASP.NET middleware

using Wire;
using Wire.ASPNET;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Attach the Wire ASP.NET middleware
app.UseWire();

// Declare an Endpoint
API.GET("/", x =>
{
    return new { Message = "Hello World" };
});

app.Run();
