# Mongoose — Embedded Network Library
|

# Mongoose - Embedded Network Library
|
||||
|
||||
Mongoose is a two-file C/C++ networking library for embedded and desktop systems.
|
||||
It is developed by Cesanta (https://cesanta.com) and available at https://mongoose.ws.
|
||||
Mongoose is an open source, two-file C networking library and embedded web server for
|
||||
microcontrollers that combines TCP/IP stack, HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT, TLS 1.3
|
||||
stack, built-in firmware OTA updates, and device-dashboard infrastructure.
|
||||

|
||||
## General rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Always re-read files before patching, so you do not overwrite existing changes
|
||||
- Never guess. If you don't know, say you don't know and stop
|
||||
- Read mongoose.h for API definition, docstrings and usage examples
|
||||
- Do not use a separate HTTP library, MQTT library, or WebSocket library,
|
||||
or Modbus-TCP library alongside Mongoose. Mongoose provides all of these.
|
||||
- Always re-read files before editing, so you do not overwrite existing changes.
|
||||
- Never guess. If you don't know, say you don't know and stop.
|
||||
- Resolve relative paths from the repo root: https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose
|
||||
- Read `mongoose.h` first. It defines the public API and contains docstrings,
|
||||
examples, common pitfalls, and related APIs.
|
||||
- Use public APIs from `mongoose.h` only. Do not rely on internal functions,
|
||||
private structs, or implementation details.
|
||||
- Follow example paths listed in `mongoose.h` docstrings.
|
||||
- Prefer existing examples over invented patterns.
|
||||
- Inspect `mongoose.c` only to clarify behaviour.
|
||||
- Generate small, complete, compilable C snippets.
|
||||
- Do not use separate HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket, or Modbus-TCP libraries alongside
|
||||
Mongoose. Mongoose provides all of these.
|
||||
- Using Mongoose has two steps: integrate the TCP/IP stack, then add application
|
||||
functionality such as HTTP, MQTT, Modbus, or device-dashboard logic.
|
||||
- Once Mongoose is integrated, desktop examples from `tutorials/http`,
|
||||
`tutorials/mqtt`, and similar directories also work on embedded systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## API prefix map
|
||||
|
||||
This is a navigation aid, not an API reference. Read `mongoose.h` for exact
|
||||
function signatures, structs, options, examples, and constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
- `mg_mgr_*` - event manager and polling loop
|
||||
- `mg_http_*` - HTTP server, HTTP client, uploads, serving files
|
||||
- `mg_ws_*` - WebSocket server and client
|
||||
- `mg_mqtt_*` - MQTT client
|
||||
- `mg_tls_*` - TLS setup
|
||||
- `mg_timer_expired` - timers
|
||||
- `mg_json_*` - JSON parsing and formatting helpers
|
||||
- `mg_*printf` - printf-like formatting to buffers, connections, files, queues,
|
||||
and WebSocket frames. Supports standard specifiers such as `%d` and `%s`,
|
||||
plus non-standard `%M` and `%m` specifiers that call custom printer functions.
|
||||
Built-in `mg_print_*` printers handle JSON escaping, base64, hex, IP, and MAC output.
|
||||
- `mg_str`, `mg_match`, `mg_globmatch` - string and pattern helpers
|
||||
- `mg_fs_*`, `mg_http_serve_*` - filesystem and static file serving
|
||||
- `MG_INFO`, `MG_DEBUG`, `MG_ERROR`, `MG_VERBOSE` - logging
|
||||
- `MG_OTA_*`, `mg_ota_*` - firmware OTA support
