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.
POCO
- 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

How to use C++ as the backend for web dev?
Use a rest api library like https://github.com/corvusoft/restbed. You can use a json library with this to serialize/deserialize your data into json objects.

What does modern (good) API development look like and what are the best tools to use?
Contrary to the direction most people go, I've been writing REST APIs as C++ servers using two different fairly full featured C++ REST frameworks: first using https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed and more lately using https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio. These can be peers with any other server, while living on embedded and/or high compute devices for video encode/decode/analysis, deployed ML models, encryption for and remote process communications, model data collection and similar expensive or in-field processing. In both high compute and in-field-no-internet situations creating REST APIs in C++ enables speed and system controls not present in the majority of the mainstream REST frameworks. It's a big world, and here comes ubiquitous high compute...

I'm not sure what to study now ):
There are some C++ API frameworks like Pistache or Restbed (full list here) to get started. If I should be 100% honest, I don't think C++ is worth for APIs as we have easier solutions with the same performance nowadays (like Go and Rust), but I think we should try everything, right?

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++.
- Rest Api Routes Implementation
What are some alternatives?
Boost.Beast - HTTP and WebSocket built on Boost.Asio in C++11
C++ REST SDK - The C++ REST SDK is a Microsoft project for cloud-based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. This project aims to help C++ developers connect to and interact with services.
Pistache - A high-performance REST toolkit written in C++
libcurl - A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features
Oat++ - 🌱Light and powerful C++ web framework for highly scalable and resource-efficient web application. It's zero-dependency and easy-portable.
Simple-WebSocket-Server
Boost.Asio - Asio C++ Library
RESTinio - Cross-platform, efficient, customizable, and robust asynchronous HTTP(S)/WebSocket server C++ library with the right balance between performance and ease of use
WebSocket++ - C++ websocket client/server library
cpp-httplib - A C++ header-only HTTP/HTTPS server and client library
