Onion VS Oat++

I've also recently fallen into (reading/watching about) it, and from what I've seen, some of them have really impressive levels of community software support

e.g. https://onionui.github.io

OnionOS is your best choice. It's as simple as dropping the files onto your SD card. Then, moving your game files to their respective folders. Here is a video guide. Here is the official page with download and any information you would need. If you're still using the stock card, I'd highly recommend getting a better quality one so that you don't lose all your data again.

Download Onion OS to your computer. Onion OS is available from the link below: https://onionui.github.io/

Update PixelReader to v0.6 by @Aemiii91 in #1208

(Please note that I am using Onion OS V4.2.0-RC, if you are using other version, it may not work.

I followed the instructions from here and used the specialized software. It's a Samsung Pro Evo SD card bought in an official store and the reduction is completely reversible by using the Windows formatter. I don't really mind that much, but am wondering if I didn't noob myself out of twice as much space!

I looked at oatpp and drogon, which are both great, but feel too high-level for my purposes. I tried drogon and got something working, but it feels like too much for my requirements, as in particular I'd like to slot in my choice of Json and message-body handling. C.f. the simple approach in Crow, which I easily understand and build on.

With the right libraries, C++ could be a good fit for applications that want to expose a fast web API to things that need lots of compute (simulators, for instance) or I/O (interactive editing of large datasets). Projects like Oat++ and Crow give me hope that we might see such an ecosystem develop.

Lots of other options have been mentioned, but I'll throw Oat++ into the mix. I used it for this purpose and it was reasonably painless.

cd "some/temp/path/for/repositories" git clone https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp.git cd oatpp mkdir build && cd build cmake .. (sudo) make install

Maybe use something like https://oatpp.io to create a REST API: C++ in the backend with this library to create a REST server, and the JavaScript/TypeScript frontend to ask for the information.

I've used OATPP ( https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp ) which worked nicely for setting up simple rest interfaces. Supports things like swagger & websockets out of the box. It's also on Conan which is nice if you use cmake. I can't speak to it's performance but it has about a 1mb binary size footprint.

As for your web problem, I have only used https://oatpp.io/ in the past but I'm sure there are more frameworks like that on the internet.
