apib is a tool that makes it easy to run performance tests of HTTP API
servers. It has most of the features of Apache Bench (ab), but is also
intended as a more modern replacement. In particular, it offers:
- Proper HTTP 1.1 support including keep-alives and chunked encoding
- Ability to spawn multiple I/O threads to take advantage of multiple
CPU cores
- Non-blocking I/O for high concurrency
- Support for POST and PUT of large objects
- Support for OAuth 1.0 signatures
- Ability to output results to a file so they may be automated
- Remote CPU monitoring
- Simple command-line interface
