NanoHTTPD is an open-source, small-footprint web server that is suitable for embedded applications, written in the Java 1.1 programming language. The source code consists of a single .java file. It can be used as a library component in developing other software (such as measurement[1], science, [2] and database[3] applications) or as a standalone ad-hoc style HTTP daemon for serving files.

Due to independence from Java features beyond JDK 1.1, NanoHTTPD is suited for embedded application development, and has been used to build, for example, Android software[4].

The original version, released in 2003, only included simple HTTP 1.0 features, but the software has been since forked and extended to support some more advanced techniques such as HTML5 video streaming or HTTP uploading through multipart extensions[5].
