title: External Web Interface for a C++ Application
body: <p>I am developing a web interface for a C++ application that runs on an embedded system.</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if it was possible to make a web interface that could be used to manage (set and get values) and display data provided by the application. (Something like Nagios.)</p>
  
  <p>My question is: is there any technology that allows me to "communicate" between the Web interface and the C++ application?</p>
  
  <p>Keep in mind that I have to do this on an embedded system, so I can't use frameworks or other things that are too heavy.</p>
  
  <p>The Web Interface has to be outside the C++ Application (I don't want to code the interface in the C++ Applicaiton).</p>
  
  <p>My idea was to use HTML5 and Javascript for the Web Interface, the web server which i will use is also lightweight (nginx).</p>
  
  <p>If someone could give me any pointers it would be nice. Thank you in advance.</p>
