watson
Emerging · C# · standard configuration · completeness 4/4
Watson Webserver, a small async C# web server for REST endpoints, written the way a caller writes it: routes declared through Watson's own routing - static routes for the fixed paths, parameter routes for the two that carry a value - rather than a hand-rolled dispatch. HTTP/1.1 cleartext on :8080. /json is serialized from the parsed model on every request and compressed only when the client asked for it, so nothing is answered from a precomputed body.
Composite rank
Each profile of a family is worth 100 to the entry that leads it, and the composite is the sum over the family, less 2.5% for each of routing, middleware, request and response the entry does not do for you - its completeness factor, which the WebSocket and gRPC families do not carry. The field is this entry's own league: engines and reverse proxies are scored apart from frameworks. How it works.

Every result
Alpha Round, 8 runs. Requests per second is the best of three; latency, CPU and memory come from that run.
