- Supports both client and server side of HTTP protocol.
- Supports both client and server Web-Sockets out-of-the-box and avoids Callback Hell.
- Provides Web-server with middlewares and plugable routing.
To get something from the web:
importaiohttpimportasyncioasyncdefmain():
asyncwithaiohttp.ClientSession() assession:
asyncwithsession.get('http://python.org') asresponse:
print("Status:", response.status)
print("Content-type:", response.headers['content-type'])
html=awaitresponse.text()
print("Body:", html[:15], "...")
loop=asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())This prints:
Status: 200 Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Body: <!doctype html> ...
Coming from requests ? Read why we need so many lines.
An example using a simple server:
# examples/server_simple.pyfromaiohttpimportwebasyncdefhandle(request):
name=request.match_info.get('name', "Anonymous")
text="Hello, "+namereturnweb.Response(text=text)
asyncdefwshandle(request):
ws=web.WebSocketResponse()
awaitws.prepare(request)
asyncformsginws:
ifmsg.type==web.WSMsgType.text:
awaitws.send_str("Hello, {}".format(msg.data))
elifmsg.type==web.WSMsgType.binary:
awaitws.send_bytes(msg.data)
elifmsg.type==web.WSMsgType.close:
breakreturnwsapp=web.Application()
app.add_routes([web.get('/', handle),
web.get('/echo', wshandle),
web.get('/{name}', handle)])
