List of features

JSCause is built to be both easy to use, and powerful with a rich set of features:

• It runs on Node.js. Even better, it doesn’t need npm. That’s right, no external dependencies whatsoever! (There is an npm version; but again, this is not needed.)
• It’s easy to install. Just unpack (unzip), run node jscause.js on the terminal and you’re good to go.
  • Or if you use npm, run npm install -g jscause, and then run jscause on your website’s directory.
• It’s easy to maintain. Your site’s configuration is in the configuration folder, and your content is in the website folder. That’s it.
• Simple site architecture. Do you need to serve /myfolder/myfile? Put your content in website/myfolder/myfile.jscp.
• Serve static assets with no fuss. Do you need to serve /myimages/image1.jpg? Put your image in website/myimages/image1.jpg.
• Custom error messages. Create your cool “404, Not Found” page and place it in /website/error4xx.jscp.
• Easy query string handling. Access name in /myfile?name=Jane by using rt.getParams['name'].
• Easy content upload handling. Handle form and JSON submissions, as well as file uploads, with simple commands (e.g. rt.postParams['first_name'].)
• Multiple sites. You can have, for example, “mysite1.com” in sites/mysite1/website and “mysite2.com” in sites/mysite2/website.
• Server logs. Check out /website/localLogs to see how your site is being accessed.
• HTTPS-ready. Provide JSCause with your SSL certificates and serve HTTPS content in no time.
• Built with security in mind. Escape content for output and set upload limits and request timeouts.
• Released under the MIT License. JSCause is free for both non-commercial and commercial puposes.
