Ourivez - jdk.httpserver adapter

Ring adapter for the built-in HTTP server in the JDK (Module jdk.httpserver)

ourivez/jdk.httpserver is a minimalistic wrapper that implements the Ring 2 protocol (the Clojure specification for web applications) on top of the standard JDK HTTP server. It allows you to run Ring handlers directly with a lightweight server, requiring no external dependencies—ideal for development, testing, and microservices. Motivation

• Zero external dependencies – uses only the JDK; no need for libraries like Jetty or Netty.

• Lightweight and fast – great for prototyping, health checks, and embedded applications.

• Fully Ring2-compliant – works seamlessly with any existing Ring middleware.
