Project background

nanoroute is a C++ implementation of a modified version of the priority radix-tree algorithm pioneered by Julien Schmidt’s httprouter. Like httprouter, nanoroute’s underlying implementation performs no allocations in the common case, although some allocations are necessary to create the PyObjects necessary for the CPython bindings.

The nanoroute package is suitable as a building block for more fully featured HTTP frameworks. It also provides a simple WSGI interface for integration directly into WSGI application stacks.

The intended use cases are high-performance message brokers, dispatchers, and ingestion endpoints. The performance improvements of a high-speed router are unlikely to be very significant in a typical database-backed Python REST API.
