Key Features
============

- 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 middleware and pluggable routing.

Getting started
===============

Client
------

To get something from the web:

.. code-block:: python

import aiohttp
import asyncio

async def main():

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get('http://python.org') as response:

print("Status:", response.status)
print("Content-type:", response.headers['content-type'])

html = await response.text()
print("Body:", html[:15], "...")

asyncio.run(main())

This prints:

.. code-block::

Status: 200
Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Body: ...

Coming from `requests `_ ? Read `why we need so many lines `_.

Server
------

An example using a simple server:

.. code-block:: python

# examples/server_simple.py
from aiohttp import web

async def handle(request):
name = request.match_info.get('name', "Anonymous")
text = "Hello, " + name
return web.Response(text=text)

async def wshandle(request):
ws = web.WebSocketResponse()
await ws.prepare(request)

async for msg in ws:
if msg.type == web.WSMsgType.text:
await ws.send_str("Hello, {}".format(msg.data))
elif msg.type == web.WSMsgType.binary:
await ws.send_bytes(msg.data)
elif msg.type == web.WSMsgType.close:
break

return ws

app = web.Application()
app.add_routes([web.get('/', handle),
web.get('/echo', wshandle),
web.get('/{name}', handle)])

if __name__ == '__main__':
web.run_app(app)
