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.
Proxygen
- Nghttp3 1.0.0 – HTTP/3 library written in C
- Zap – fast back ends in Zig
- C++ (or C, I guess) application server that's QUIC/HTTP3 ready?
-
kleinsHTTP: A stupid stupidly simple HTTP Server
proxygen claims to support all 3, although I'm still not sure if it's an actual library or just an interface.
-
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++.

Experience using crow as web server
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.
-
REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
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.
-
Server with oat++. Installation. CmakeLists.txt
cd "some/temp/path/for/repositories" git clone https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp.git cd oatpp mkdir build && cd build cmake .. (sudo) make install

How to use C++ as the backend for web dev?
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.
-
making a web server in c++?
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.
