FastEndpoints/FastEndpoints
FastEndpoints
A light-weight REST API development framework for ASP.NET 8 and newer.
Features
- REPR Pattern Frameworks - Provides a framework for building REST APIs using the REPR pattern with minimal boilerplate.
- Minimal-API-Competitive Servers - Processes thousands of requests per second with sub-millisecond latency, rivaling minimal APIs.
- Endpoint Structure Enforcements - Enforces the REPR pattern where each endpoint is a single class combining request, handler, and response.
- Request Processing Optimizers - Generates request binding and validation code at compile time to eliminate runtime reflection and allocation.
- Single-Class Endpoint Patterns - Structures each endpoint as a single class combining request, handler, and response to reduce boilerplate.
- Single-Class Endpoint Definitions - Defines each API endpoint as a single class combining request, handler, and response logic.
- REPR-Based Frameworks - Provides an ASP.NET 8+ framework for building high-performance REST APIs using the REPR pattern.
- Sub-Millisecond Latency Services - Handles over 200,000 requests per second with sub-millisecond latency under concurrent load.
- Structured Framework Processors - Processes HTTP requests with throughput and latency comparable to Minimal APIs using a structured framework.
- High-Throughput Processors - Handles over 200,000 requests per second with sub-millisecond latency under concurrent load.
- Single-Purpose Endpoint Designs - Implements single-purpose endpoints that combine request, handler, and response into one class.
- High-Throughput Implementations - Builds REST APIs handling over 200,000 requests per second with sub-millisecond latency.
- Validation Rule Compilers - Compiles validation rules defined as attributes or fluent configurations into efficient runtime checks.
- Per-Request Minimizers - Keeps per-request memory allocation low, reducing garbage collection pressure and improving efficiency.
- Request Binding Generators - Generates request binding code at compile time using source generators, eliminating runtime reflection.
- Buffer-Reusing Serializers - Reuses buffers during JSON serialization to avoid allocations in request and response processing.
- Assembly-Scanning Registrations - Automatically discovers and registers endpoints by scanning assemblies for base endpoint classes.
- Service Middleware Pipelines - Configures request processing through a pipeline of pre/post handlers and validators for cross-cutting concerns.
- API Frameworks and Tools - High-performance alternative to classic controllers using a REPR pattern.
