    There is also the cpr package which should offer a more c++ focussed interface for curl.

    I think vcpkg manifests have solved a really key portion of the "please give me these libraries" problem. Couple lines in a json file, pass CMake to your vcpkg toolchain script path and triplet, and you're pretty much done with dependencies. I actually used it for a project with libcpr/cpr and a couple other popular libraries, and I was shocked at how painless it was to get up and running with some web request stuff.

    I like https://github.com/nlohmann/json as a cpp json library. I combine it with https://github.com/libcpr/cpr for jsonrpc. Also, I agree spdlog is great.
