- Source code is both ISO C and ISO C++ compliant
- Works with any network stack with socket API, like LwIP or FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP
- Very easy to integrate: just copy
mongoose.c
and mongoose.h
files to your build tree
- Detailed documentation and
tutorials

Security
We take security seriously:
- Mongoose repository runs a
continuous integration test powered by GitHub,
which runs through hundreds of unit tests on every commit to the repository.
Our unit tests
are built with modern address sanitizer technologies, which help to find
security vulnerabilities early
- Mongoose repository is integrated into Google's
oss-fuzz continuous fuzzer
which scans for potential vulnerabilities continuously
- We receive periodic vulnerability reports from the independent security
groups like
Cisco Talos,
Microsoft Security Response Center,
MITRE Corporation,
Compass Security and others.
In case of the vulnerability found, we act according to the industry best
practice: hold on to the publication, fix the software and notify all our
customers that have an appropriate subscription
- Some of our customers (for example NASA)
have specific security requirements and run independent security audits,
of which we get notified and in case of any issue, act similar to (3).
