mstch VS nsblast

Here's what I did: - I bought a theme that I liked, and used mstch as template engine (matched the theme's template format) - Imported rapidjson for parsing JSON, and used mstch for generating JSON (the JSON I generate is simple enough that I can do this) - Wrote an HTTP handler class for each page that handles the GET and POST requests, generating HTML or JSON depending on the request

How does this compare to https://github.com/no1msd/mstch ? I see they both rely on c++11 and mstch is compliant with the lambda module . If this is the same P. Dimov who wrote the “simple c++11 meta programming” series of articles I can’t wait to check the code. On the other hand I appreciate the simplicity of mstch.

I like to use a template engine for rendering html. This way I could use my favourite html editor and add the information from c++ to it. There are some alternatives but I would recommend either mustache or inja. While I used mustache successfully in many projects inja has a more modern feel to it

You can generate an html page from scracth for sure, but you can also use a templating 'language' such as {{mustache}} which has a C++ implementation : https://github.com/no1msd/mstch

nsblast

Example from one of my projects: https://github.com/jgaa/nsblast/blob/main/cmake/3rdparty.cmake

Yahat-cpp: Simple HTTP/API server library for use in C++ micro-services. This was just some code that kept evolving inside various projects, so I distilled it to a separate project to make it simpler to maintain. For an example of a real server using it, you cal look at nsblast, a new DNS server I'm implementing.

I hope this question is not too off-topic here. I'm a bit lost. I'm working on a C++ project (a DNS server). It exposes a REST API via an embedded, very simple HTTP server. I have added swagger to document the API, and to test it from a browser. Now, I want to provide a simple web-UI to the application. I don't want this to become a major task, and ideally I want either a UI that lives as some simple js/css/http files in the browser, (so it can be served as a static website on the server-side like swagger) - or some simple to use back-end library in C++ that can drive the web-UI. In short, I hope to find a way to do this where I can have a POC ready in <= a week, and where I don't have to spend lot's of time learning some js framework.

I'm using C++ for most of my projects, because I like it. It's also what I do for a living. The latest new open source project I initiated is a dns server, nsblast, using rocksdb for storage. https://github.com/jgaa/nsblast

The (side) project I have put most effort into in the last year is k8deployer, a helm like utility that can deploy simple and complex applications in kubernetes with minimal effort. https://github.com/jgaa/k8deployer

In these projects I don't use other languages. C++ is the only language where I easily get into "flow".
