  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • picohttpparser

    tiny HTTP parser written in C (used in HTTP::Parser::XS et al.)

  • Just-js is not nodejs framework. It's sperate runtime and most of the http code is written using c/c++ (for example headers parsing logic is written using c and is using https://github.com/h2o/picohttpparser which is c library)

  • just

    the only javascript runtime to hit no.1 on techempower :fire: (by just-js)

  • Looking at the repository, it seems that just-js is a full on Node replacement, but at a very low level. It's basically a thin wrapper over Linux APIs and doesn't implement many abstractions; you're essentially writing C in JS. V8 is well optimized, so this result is not exactly surprising to me. The speed comes at the cost of maintainability (no zero cost abstractions), ecosystem (no Node.js compatibility) and possibly safety (very low level APIs and no sandboxing).

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • ntex

    framework for composable networking services
