Description

Node.js serves as an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime specifically engineered for creating scalable network applications. Each time a connection is made, a callback function is triggered; however, if there are no tasks to execute, Node.js enters a sleep state. This approach stands in stark contrast to the more prevalent concurrency model that relies on operating system threads. Networking based on threads can be quite inefficient and often presents significant usability challenges. Additionally, Node.js users don't have to concern themselves with the complications of dead-locking the process since the architecture does not utilize locks. In fact, very few functions within Node.js handle I/O directly, ensuring that the process remains unblocked except when synchronous methods from Node.js's standard library are utilized. This non-blocking nature makes it highly feasible to develop scalable systems using Node.js. The design of Node.js shares similarities with, and draws inspiration from, frameworks like Ruby's Event Machine and Python's Twisted, extending the event model even further. Notably, Node.js incorporates the event loop as an integral runtime feature rather than relegating it to a mere library, thus enhancing its efficiency and functionality. This distinctive approach makes Node.js an attractive choice for developers looking to create high-performance applications.

Description

This project's primary aim is to excel in a singular task: effectively serving static web directories. Many existing solutions tend to be overly complicated with features like CGI support and reliance on third-party libraries, or they fall short by lacking essential functionalities such as TLS, virtual hosts, or support for partial content. Quark seeks to strike a balance by focusing solely on static content while still incorporating advanced features typically found in more cumbersome alternatives, all while prioritizing security through methods such as chroot, privilege dropping, and strict parsing without dynamic memory allocation. We maintain that the majority of the web can operate without dynamic components, arguing that the escalating complexity of server-side applications significantly contributes to the web's growing inefficiency. In contemporary practices, the trend leans towards handling everything server-side, from parsing requests to altering files and databases, and generating HTML, often using inappropriate languages like PHP or JavaScript, which leads to significant security vulnerabilities and inefficiencies. By simplifying these processes, we aim to create a more streamlined and secure web environment.
