@aescling @akjcv it's a cgi script; you don't have to handle networking yourself aside from routing and content negotiation, which probably needs to be bespoke

for xml, i'll obviously be using libxml2 and libxslt but cgit just does bespoke raw html output so like you can yolo it if you want

if the data structure is really basic, i’m not sure what the benefit is to using a library. basic data structures don’t have high maintenance burdens
