drogon
Drogon: A C++14/17/20 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows
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.

POCO
The POCO C++ Libraries are powerful cross-platform C++ libraries for building network- and internet-based applications that run on desktop, server, mobile, IoT, and embedded systems.

InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

We tried using pywebview for a cross-platform desktop app when it was version 3.x and some of the features were limited, especially when it came to systray interactions. Will have to try it out again. In the end, for that specific project, we ended up settling on NeutralinoJS. Wails was another big contender but due to limited GoLang resources in-house, we decided not to use it. Reference: https://neutralino.js.org/

evpp
A modern C++ network library for developing high performance network services in TCP/UDP/HTTP protocols.
-
I'm investigating using C++ to build a REST server, and would love to know of people's experiences with Crow-- or whether they would recommend something else as a "medium-level" abstraction C++ web server. As background, I started off experimenting with Python/FastAPI, which is great, but there is too much friction to translate from pybind11-exported C++ objects to the format that FastAPI expects, and, of course, there are inherent performance limitations using Python, which could impact scaling up if the project were to be successful.

They recently open sourced internal framework: https://github.com/userver-framework/userver
-
WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
-
Restbed
Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.
-
CppServer
Ultra fast and low latency asynchronous socket server & client C++ library with support TCP, SSL, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket protocols and 10K connections problem solution
-
lithium
Easy to use C++17 HTTP Server with no compromise on performances. https://matt-42.github.io/lithium
-
RESTinio
Cross-platform, efficient, customizable, and robust asynchronous HTTP(S)/WebSocket server C++ library with the right balance between performance and ease of use
Project mention: What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes? | /r/cpp | 2023-09-06In 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.
-
Cutelyst
A C++ Web Framework built on top of Qt, using the simple approach of Catalyst (Perl) framework.
-
Now I want to do this using C++. I came across libhttpserver. The documentation looks intuitive. I think once everything is properly setup I should be easily able to what I want.
-
-
IXWebSocket
websocket and http client and server library, with TLS support and very few dependencies
-
QxOrm
QxOrm library - C++ Qt ORM (Object Relational Mapping) and ODM (Object Document Mapper) library - Official repository
-
-
-
SATPI
SATIP server for linux, suitable to run on an Raspberry Pi, Vu+, GigaBlue or any other linux box. currently supporting DVB-S/S2/T/C and transform DVB-S requests to DVB-C
-
malloy
A cross-platform C++20 library providing embeddable server & client components for HTTP and WebSocket. (by Tectu)
