## ✨ Features

- **Pure C Implementation**: Built using standard C libraries and minimal dependencies

- **Simple HTTP Server**: Handles basic HTTP requests and serves static content

- **Routing System**: Maps URLs to file resources

## 🛠 Requirements

- ⚙️ GCC compiler (clang won`t work)

- 🛠 CMake (version 3.10 or higher)

- 📦 [Http Parser Library](https://github.com/xirzo/httpparser)

## 🔧 Building

```bash

git clone https://github.com/xirzo/WebsiteInC

cd WebsiteInC

mkdir build

cd build

cmake .. --preset=gcc

make

```

## 🚀 Usage

After building, set the port env and run the server:

```bash

export PORT=5000

```

```bash

./c_website

```

The server will start on port 5000 by default. You can access the website at `http://localhost:5000`.

## ⚙️ How It Works

The router maps the requested URI to a file. Then the server uses a simple HTTP parser to process incoming requests. When a request comes in, the router provides a file path then server reads the file and sends it back as an HTTP response.

Current routes:

- `/` → `index.html`

- `/style.css` → `style.css`
