+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> ### Archive notice
+> As of now (February 2024) this code is still functional and has reached a high level of maturity thanks to all your input in more than 100 closed issues and 50 pull requests. I have archived this repository due to a shift in priorities. Thanks for using this project, and keep building and making!

 The ESP8266 IoT Framework is a set of modules to be used as a starting point in new ESP8266 projects, implementing HTTPS requests, a React web interface, WiFi manager, configuration manager, live dashboard and OTA updates.
 
 The unique advantage of this framework is that code generation at build time is used to provide different benefits. Code generation is used to dynamically generate a configuration struct and a live dashboard from JSON files, to incorporate the web interface into PROGMEM in the firmware and to bundle a full root certificate store in PROGMEM that allows the ESP8266 to do secure HTTPS requests to arbitrary URLs.
