Here are "Hello World" benchmark results comparing several frameworks with ecewo. See the source code of the benchmark test.

• Machine: 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700F x 20, 32GB RAM, SSD
• OS: Fedora Workstation 43
• Method: wrk -t8 -c100 -d40s http://localhost:3000 * 2, taking the second results.

ecewo is built on top of libuv and llhttp. They are fetched automatically by CMake, so no manual installation is required.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DECEWO_BUILD_TESTS=ON ..
cmake --build .
ctest
