About
iopa-http is an API-First fabric for the Internet of Things (IoT) and for Microservices Container-Based Architectures (MCBA)
based on the Internet of Protocols Alliance (IOPA) specification
It servers HTTP messages in standard IOPA format and allows existing middleware for Connect, Express and limerun projects to consume/send each mesage.
Written in native javascript for maximum performance and portability to constrained devices and services. If you prefer to use the core Node.js 'http' transport, then
see the package iopa-http.
