资 源 简 介
HandBaller (abbreviated HB) is an HTTP server with messaging capabilities, that is an _Http Bus_. It implements a simple HTTP based Pub/Sub protocol and many HTTP-Push strategy adapters.
Introduction
HandBaller specific features are somewhat related to the growing COMET buzzword. You might consequently see HandBaller as yet an other COMET server. Like any good COMET server:
* HB provides many adapters to efficient HTTP-Push strategies.
* HB acts as a Pub/Sub -Publish/Subscribe- MOM -Message Oriented Middleware- based upon HTTP protocol.
* HB is scalable and can handle thousands of simultaneous connections.
But actually HandBaller is different. Contrary to many related projects:
* HB follows the KISS credo.
* HB has no dependency with heavy technologies like Java, Perl, PHP, C# and such. It"s just a plain old C project.
* HB is extra-light-weight, with a ridiculously small binary size and memory footprint.
* HB can fit into light platforms
