  • Embassy

    Super lightweight async HTTP server library in pure Swift runs in iOS / MacOS / Linux (by envoy)

    Right now I'm using https://github.com/envoy/Embassy. There's also https://github.com/envoy/Ambassador if you want an "HTTP Framework". These are more lightweight, but they might not be feature complete.
