Features
--------

- Supports both client and server side of HTTP protocol.
- Supports both client and server Web-Sockets out-of-the-box.
- Web-server has middlewares and pluggable routing.


Getting started
---------------

Client
^^^^^^

To retrieve something from the web:

.. code-block:: python

  import aiohttp
  import asyncio

  async def fetch(session, url):
      with aiohttp.Timeout(10, loop=session.loop):
          async with session.get(url) as response:
              return await response.text()

  async def main(loop):
      async with aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=loop) as session:
          html = await fetch(session, 'http://python.org')
          print(html)

  if __name__ == '__main__':
      loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
      loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))


Server
^^^^^^

This is simple usage example:

.. code-block:: python

    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 wshandler(request):
        ws = web.WebSocketResponse()
        await ws.prepare(request)

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

        return ws


    app = web.Application()
    app.router.add_get('/echo', wshandler)
    app.router.add_get('/', handle)
    app.router.add_get('/{name}', handle)

    web.run_app(app)


Note: examples are written for Python 3.5+ and utilize PEP-492 aka
async/await.  If you are using Python 3.4 please replace ``await`` with
``yield from`` and ``async def`` with ``@coroutine`` e.g.::

    async def coro(...):
        ret = await f()

should be replaced by::

    @asyncio.coroutine
    def coro(...):
        ret = yield from f()
