Description
===========

This library is a simple C++ wrapper for the C library ``http-parser``_ [#]_.
``http-parser`` is a simple HTTP streaming parser (for those of you familiar
with XML, it works much like a SAX parser). It knows nothing of sockets or
streams. You feed it data and it invokes registered callbacks to notify of
available data. Because ``http-parser`` operates at the very lowest level, it
does not buffer data or allocate memory dynamically. This library attempts to
make that library easily usable by C++ programs by interpreting those callbacks
and buffering data where needed.

.. [#] This code was derived from the HTTP parser code in NGINX_.
