JSHP

What Is This?

Memory efficient 🎢, fast ⚡, and easy to use Node.js hypertext preprocessor, like PHP but better™.

Memory Efficient

It's written in Rust, so it's memory efficient by default.
^{_{It definitely does not store entire files in memory.
And even if it did, how much RAM do you have? How much RAM does your cloud have? Right, I thought so.
Look, reading from disk is slow, and reading from memory is fast and everyone wants fast.}}

How To Use It?

Installation

Benchmarks

TODO:

Base Functionality

• Parsing code from jshp tags
• HTTP serving
• Tag parsing
  • Implement better parsing errors (unclosed tag, missing closing tag, etc.)
  • Finish echo tag <?= ... ?>
• Implement CLI
• Implement check_syntax flag - checking the syntax of code fragments

Big If True

• Typescript support ?
• node_modules support / require() support ??
• wasm ???

Misc

• Readme needs more emojis
• Colored status output for startup checks/warnings/errors
• Add a LICENSE file
• Benchmarking

But... Why?

Learning experience.

It might not look like much but this is the best first project in any language, see:

• It's made of multiple primitive parts that are rather easy to implement
• Simple syntax parsing, simple file IO stuff, almost simple HTTP serving, ignore the V8 stuff (originally it should use Node.js directly, but embedding V8 means faster, and everyone wants faster)
