Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

Refactoring with C++17 std::optional
Or nonstd::expected. Personally, I would rather use output parameters and an enum result or a std::variant over std::optional, because at the very least you have the option for more specific error diagnostics.

std::expected (with monadic interface) implementation in C++20 (P0323, P2505)
As someone who is new to this API (so I can't discern from the list of features which might be better for my use case), I second the question, and I'd like to extend the question to how it compares to https://github.com/martinmoene/expected-lite and https://github.com/bitwizeshift/result as well.

Real-world examples of std::expected in codebases?
Example of other people trying to do it in a generic way, as a separate library (instead of in the utility part of some bigger codebase): - https://github.com/bitwizeshift/result - https://github.com/oktal/result - https://github.com/basicpp17/result17 - https://github.com/p-ranav/result
