AppWeb

AppWeb is a next generation embedded web server and the first embedded web serverthat has been designed from the start with security in mind. AppWeb is a very fast, small-footprint, standards-based, portable server, specifically developed for use by embedded devices and applications. AppWeb is the easiest and most cost-effective path to web-enable applications and devices. Unlike most other embedded web servers, AppWeb is feature rich and highly secure. Compared to other proprietary and costly web servers, AppWeb is simple, convenient and open.

 

Embedded Server Pages

Embedded Server Pages (ESP) is a collection of technologies developed by Mbedthis and a community of developers to provide an embeddable, standards-based, dynamic web page creation environment. Similar in its ultimate goal to PHP and Active Server Pages (ASP), Embedded Server Pages enables the easy creation of dynamic web pages for embedded systems by embedding JavaScript into HTML pages

ESP is very compact and has a memory footprint of approximately 50K (about 20 time smaller than PHP). It also requires minimal CPU resources to execute.

Embedded Server Pages can be downloaded by downloading AppWeb product.

Embedded JavaScript

JavaScript is an interpreted, object oriented language suitable for embedding in applications and devices. Best known as the scripting language for browsers, JavaScript is general purpose language that can also be used for web server scripting and many other embedded scripting needs. Embedded JavaScript is used by Embedded Server Pages to allow access to HTTP variables and to retrieve dynamic data for presentation to the client's browser.

JavaScript is syntactically similar to the C language and has objects, functions and expresssions and statements such as if/else, for, +, -, &&, and ||. JavaScript is an untyped language that conveniently and automatically converts data from one type to another as required.

Embedded JavaScript can be downloaded by downloading AppWeb product.

Open Source and Free

AppWeb software products are created using an Open Source development model where a community of developers contribute enhancements and fixes. Products are licensed under the GNU open source license and are provided with full source code. Mbedthis Software has generously provided infrastructure, developers and funding to make this possible and is alos providing commercial support and licenses for AppWeb.
