DPP VS restc-cpp

For me it just fails on dpp wrap file not containing a valid URL. And if I change it to https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP, it fails on the repo not containing a meson.build file. And if I comment out the dependency it fails due to non-existent include/ directory. And if I comment that out, it succeeds just fine.

Sure, the D++ Discord bot library is a good example of an implementation of REST in C++. I wouldn't say it's particularly modern as it doesn't make a lot of use of modern C++ features such as constexpr, string_view and so on, but it's not too bad.

Looking quickly you'll want to use https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP/blob/master/library-vcpkg/CMakeLists.txt

I've been working for many months (actually over a year now) on creating and maintaining the D++ Discord API Library (aka DPP) making it lightweight and scalable for my needs.

Out of curiousity; what does this library offer that, say, a mature library like DPP (https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP) doesn't offer?

My favourite was Microsoft's cpprestsdk, but for some reason now is in maintenance mode, I don't know why, so it's hard to suggest it for new projects. A nice alternative is restc-cpp, that's has a good high-level interface, if this is what you want.

Restc-cpp: Client library using asio stackfull coroutines. It also handles serialization to and from Json automatically if the C++ classes are declared with boost::fusion.

Ah ok. I would use a rest api client library for that. Have not used c++ for this. But found that when googling https://github.com/jgaa/restc-cpp
