RESTinio VS awesome-cpp

In my past job, we used https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio and absolutely loved it. It's not as active but it honestly didn't need much.

Here's a C++ REST framework for you to use too: https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio

I had a good experience using restinio for a small ASIO HTTP server recently.

It uses restinio https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio with great success ;)

For networking, pick a networking library. Restinio is a fair choice for HTTP. But, again, feel free to pick others.

You may find this worthwhile: https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio/issues/101 FWIW, I used Restbed successfully for 3.5 years before switching personal projects to Restino. I've left the job that used Restbed, but I think they are still using it.

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...

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++.

Regardé: Awesome-CPP

Here's a list of (globally) well-written C++ libraries: https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp

Here is a list of free online C/C++ books: https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp/blob/master/books.md

If you need some library you can try searching thjs list https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp

Here's a big list of a bunch of high quality C++ libraries and codebases. Hopefully you can find something in your areas of interest and can dive into it.

Could you detail what exact tooling you are talking about ?

Like, this static analyzer looks interesting but 5 years ago clang --analyze had no trouble producing me a nice html indicating the 27 steps across 6 functions that lead to a pointer being dereferenced after being deleted. Tooling is there but it seems that pretty much no one is aware of it - see e.g. this: https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/cppbestpractices/blob/... or this: https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp for a quick look at what exists.
