OxCaml powers new zero-allocation HTTP server for high performance

A new high-performance HTTP/1.1 parser and serializer named httpz has been developed using the OxCaml compiler. This tool leverages OxCaml's specialized features, such as unboxed types and local allocations, to achieve zero heap allocations for request parsing and serialization. The resulting performance allows for stack-allocated data structures and minimal garbage collection, enabling efficient handling of a large number of concurrent connections. AI
