Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

LLVM 16.0.0 Release
There is at least one notable exception to this rule: https://github.com/boostorg/beast/issues/1445
- Learning to build networking applications using C/C++ from scratch

BOOST.BEAST Websocket
I am using this example : https://github.com/boostorg/beast/blob/develop/example/websocket/client/async-ssl/websocket_client_async_ssl.cpp My application is listening to tick data streams of crypto exchanges over the websockets and processing and sending orders to the exchange.

boost.beast
We used beast to implement a market data server(and I think we also did a small client, to test it) which was sending protobuf messages, and it worked great(we also used boost adio, which made it very scalable). When we tested the server, we were generating around 100k messages per second(when there was the biggest activity on the market), I think I've posted here some stats: https://github.com/boostorg/beast/issues/2313.

Suggestions for a minimal and simple http client library?
Boost Beast?
- tuplet: A Lightweight Tuple Library for Modern C++
- What are some commonly used or underrated features provided by the Boost library that haven't been yet adopted by the STL?

ASIO Updated in Boost 1.77: Holy Schitte, the NEW FEATURES !!!
And Chris wrote this example, which is faster than any of my other examples: https://github.com/boostorg/beast/tree/21cd552399aa8167ed53c21a74f3711c2c316d2f/example/http/server/fast

CMake Part 1 – The Dark Arts
cmake -h. -Bbuild && cmake --build build
to work about 90% of the time. Far more luck than I've had with autotools.
> Its code is horrifying too, for example:
1) I'm sure I could find some horriffic code in meson too if I went digging. 2) The alternative to this is you having to write something equivalent in your own code, meaning that in my code I don't need to do stuff like [0] in my code to detect features; my build system handles it for me. 3) CMake supports more platforms and targets than I've ever seen in my life, and likely supports more compilers than are necessary. that's a blessing and a curse, but it means that if I write simple program to run on some crufty microcontroller with a bastardised gcc toolchain from the 90s, it's fairly likely that cmake supports it out of the box. Code like that is the price to pay for that level of support.

cpprestsdk in maintenance mode
If you need an embedded C++ HTTP server then there are plenty of libraries/frameworks (in random order): Crow, RESTinio, Boost.Beast, cpp-httplib, http_backend, Pistache, RestBed, served, proxygen, Simple-Web-Server, drogon, oat++.

- What are some C++ projects with high quality code that I can read through?
-
What is the best option to do networking in c++?
You can also look into Poco https://pocoproject.org/
-
Is C/C++ good for the backend? If so, is there anything like Fastapi in C/C++?
I can't say enough good stuff about POCO for this type of work - when I first got my teams using it we used to joke that POCO was what Boost wants to be when it grows up. And nlohmann/json - cracking library for working with JSON in C++.
-
HTTP LISTENER C++
We use https://github.com/pocoproject/poco in most projects, very easy to set up a http listener
-
Who is using C++ for web development?
Did someone used Poco's Net Library to create a Rest Api? Poco Project
-
Do someone use CLion under Windows with good performance?
But CLion is so slow. Tested with Poco C++ standard build (https://pocoproject.org/). Moving around with Go To Definition takes sometimes up to 20 seconds if file is first touched. Using 'back' and 'forward' delays for 1-2 seconds.
-
Why am I not able to make https get requests using Poco::Net?
Yes, you need NetSSL - take a look at find_package(Poco REQUIRED COMPONENTS ... NetSSL) requires an aditional find_package(OpenSSL) since poco-10.
-
Can you recommend a good C++ open source project?
poco (portable components) https://pocoproject.org/
- CMake + Poco + FetchContent build options problem

The Curse of NixOS
Many of the necessary fixes do end up getting pushed upstream, though, thinking especially of stuff like converting CMake projects to use the GNUInstallDirs standard, so there is a benefit to the strictness work that extends beyond even just the Nix community itself.
Of course, sometimes those kinds of changes just never get merged, for a variety of well-understood open-sourcey reasons, eg: https://github.com/pocoproject/poco/pull/3105
What are some alternatives?
