Epoch is a Epoch based HTTP server for Swift 2.

• No Foundation dependency (Linux ready)
• Completely Asynchronous

Epoch is made of:

• Venice - CSP and TCP/IP
• Luminescence - HTTP parser

struct HTTPServerResponder : HTTPResponderType {
    func respond(request: HTTPRequest) -> HTTPResponse {
    
        // do something based on the HTTPRequest

        return HTTPResponse(statusCode: 200, reasonPhrase: "OK")
    }
}

let responder = HTTPServerResponder()
let server = HTTPServer(port: 8080, responder: responder)
server.start()

Start Epoch Command Line Application and then run:

> ab -n 12800 -c 128 http://localhost:8080/

To make this results have any meaning you should create, for example, a node.js server that responds with 200 OK and compare it with Epoch.

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

CocoaPods 0.39.0+ is required to build Epoch.

To integrate Epoch into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
use_frameworks!

pod 'Epoch'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that automates the process of adding frameworks to your Cocoa application.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate Epoch into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "Zewo/Epoch"

If you prefer not to use a dependency manager, you can integrate Epoch into your project manually.

• Open up Terminal, cd into your top-level project directory, and run the following command "if" your project is not initialized as a git repository:

$ git init

• Add Epoch as a git submodule by running the following command:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/Zewo/Epoch.git

• Open the new Epoch folder, and drag the Epoch.xcodeproj into the Project Navigator of your application's Xcode project.

  It should appear nested underneath your application's blue project icon. Whether it is above or below all the other Xcode groups does not matter.

• Select the Epoch.xcodeproj in the Project Navigator and verify the deployment target matches that of your application target.

• Next, select your application project in the Project Navigator (blue project icon) to navigate to the target configuration window and select the application target under the "Targets" heading in the sidebar.

• In the tab bar at the top of that window, open the "General" panel.

• Click on the + button under the "Embedded Binaries" section.

• You will see two different Epoch.xcodeproj folders each with two different versions of the Epoch.framework nested inside a Products folder.

  It does not matter which Products folder you choose from, but it does matter whether you choose the top or bottom Epoch.framework.

• Select the top Epoch.framework for OS X and the bottom one for iOS.

  You can verify which one you selected by inspecting the build log for your project. The build target for Epoch will be listed as either Epoch iOS or Epoch OSX.

• And that's it!

The Epoch.framework is automagically added as a target dependency, linked framework and embedded framework in a copy files build phase which is all you need to build on the simulator and a device.
