yahat-cpp VS RESTinCurl

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.

RESTinCurl: Wrapper over libcurl for projects not using boost/asio, typically for Android and IOS use-cases (but I have used it in servers as well). Besides wrapping the library, it also contains the code to handle asynchronous operations with libcurl.

You can take a look at restincurl, which is a simple C++ wrapper around curl ;)

1) A C++ library compiled with the NDK with a Java wrapper and the UI written in Java/Kotlin. This was doable for this project because the project was huge with good funding and multiple teams working on the various components. I was responsible for the C++ part. The C++ library was also used in a iPhone app, and that was actually much more work (I had to write an Objective C layer) than on Android. During this project I wrote about how I ended up making a usable JNI wrapper. I also created two new Open Source projects to facilitate logging and using libcurl conveniently from C++ in mobile apps.
