A Web Framework for Zig
- punkbit 1y agoHere's a video introduction to Jetzig by one of the contributors: Screencast #1 - Introduction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeaO_MwfUII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeaO_MwfUII
- lgrebe 1y agoJetzig reads funny in german something like "now-ish" Jetzt = now [1] German adjective suffix: -ig [2] The German suffix -ig attaches to nouns, verbs and even adverbs. Given this flexibility, it ranks among the most common adjective endings in German. You can use -ig words to express that something is a certain way or happens a certain way. traurig: sad, sadly wässrig: watery knackig: crunchy, crispy abhängig: dependent, addicted geizig: stingy [1] https://de.pons.com/übersetzung-2/deutsch-englisch/jetzt https://de.pons.com/übersetzung-2/deutsch-englisch/jetzt [2] https://www.lingoda.com/blog/en/german-adjective-suffixes/ https://www.lingoda.com/blog/en/german-adjective-suffixes/
- Onavo 1y agoIt's a perfectly fine name. There's a billion dollar web framework company named Zeit which famously built https://now.sh https://now.sh
- moritzruth 1y agoThey rebranded to Vercel, most likely because Zeit turned out to not be a perfectly fine name.
- unwind 1y agoThe "-ig" suffix corresponds roughly to English's "-ish", I would say. As a native speaker of neither German nor English, though.
- rendx 1y agoIt doesn't merely sound like it, it is a German word, translating to current/present. https://www.dwds.de/wb/jetzig https://www.dwds.de/wb/jetzig https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/jetzig https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/jetzig https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/jetzig https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/jetzig
- endigma 1y agoThis site makes a big point of using the term "RESTful" repeatedly, but it seems to be JSON-based by default? I don't know why modern web frameworks insist on continuing to misuse or misapply the term despite a fairly large amount of messaging recently about how exactly this term is misapplied, and the resurgence of frameworks and tools that do correctly apply it, e.g. HTMX, Datastar, Alpine AJAX. Otherwise, this looks cool. I'd encourage you to un-roll-your-own docs and use something like Starlight or Docusaurus so you can have usable search and versioned docs.
- _heimdall 1y agoThat's a fight we lost two decades ago now unfortunately. Nearly any modern-ish API is a JSON-based RPC. There's nothing wrong with that, JSON RPC is a plenty fine solution for many common use cases, it just isn't REST.
- moritzruth 1y agoNote that there is also a standard for JSON-based RPC systems, called JSON-RPC [0]. Not every JSON-based self-titled "RESTful" API uses JSON-RPC. [0]: https://www.jsonrpc.org/ https://www.jsonrpc.org/

- elcritch 1y agoBeing RESTful and the data encoding used are largely orthogonal aspects of an API. Wikipedia RESTful article says: > The formal REST constraints are as follows:[10] > Client/Server – Clients are separated from servers by a well-defined interface > Stateless – A specific client does not consume server storage when the client is "at rest" > Cache – Responses indicate their own cacheability > Uniform interface > Layered system – A client cannot ordinarily tell whether it is connected directly to the end server, or to an intermediary along the way

- sroerick 1y agoI really like Jetzig. It just seems to make every framework decision that I think feels right. Major props to the team
- winrid 1y agoI don't know zig - is this query type safe in that if I change a member name in the struct it'll fail to compile? https://github.com/jetzig-framework/jetquery https://github.com/jetzig-framework/jetquery usually I do this with codegen, pretty cool if zig's type system is this powerful Also holy crap: for (cat.homes This is like django!
- messe 1y agoYes, all reflection in Zig is static reflection, so that should generate a compile error (although how obvious it will be is a different question).
- hajimuz 1y agoit’s using http.zig, so only http1.1?
- BozeWolf 1y agoNice, looks like a decent framework. I used to do a lot of python for backend web apps, but recently jumped on the hypetrain and used go for developing a web app (devops) tool. Single binary, easy deployment etc etc. From that experience, I think this competes with go based web apps mostly. And if so, it makes a good chance at becomming succesful. Zig seams to have a better type system. Additionally the quality of documentation for this project is pretty good. That is something the go ecosystem seems to be lacking in general. The rest of the go perks are there as well. Single binary etc. Now the ecosystem needs to catch up. Nice!
- timeon 1y agoSad to see that cookie banner. One would not expect opensource project to be associated with spyware.

- lukaslalinsky 1y agoAs much as I like Zig, I can't imagine working on something as string/list-heavy as web without a garbage collector. Not to mention having a web server without coroutines. Web services these days are just glue code between various pieces of infrastructure, you are constantly waiting on something, it just doesn't make sense to run these in full blown threads.
