Top 18 C++ HTTP Server Projects

  • drogon

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

    Project mention: Ask HN: C/C++ web framework with routes (like Node.js, Python Flask) | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-05-18

    I have used Drogon. It's a very performant one. https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon

  • 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.

    Project mention: Can you recommend a good C++ open source project? | reddit.com/r/Cplusplus | 2022-03-30

    poco (portable components) https://pocoproject.org/

  • neutralinojs

    Portable and lightweight cross-platform desktop application development framework

    Project mention: Is this normal? | reddit.com/r/discordapp | 2022-05-14

    Electron bundles both Chromium and Node.js in with it which causes massively unnecessary bundle sizes and adds hundreds of dependencies. This is unnecessary when plenty of alternatives such as Neutralino seem to manage to get past this problem. Not to mention the difference in performance.

  • Boost.Beast

    HTTP and WebSocket built on Boost.Asio in C++11

    Project mention: boost.beast | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2022-04-17

    We used beast to implement a market data server(and I think we also did a small client, to test it) which was sending protobuf messages, and it worked great(we also used boost adio, which made it very scalable). When we tested the server, we were generating around 100k messages per second(when there was the biggest activity on the market), I think I've posted here some stats: https://github.com/boostorg/beast/issues/2313.

  • evpp

    A modern C++ network library for developing high performance network services in TCP/UDP/HTTP protocols.

    Project mention: Help setting up evpp library with vcpkg, CMake on Windows. | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2022-04-29

    Hello, has anyone had any success installing evpp into a project using vcpkg and CMake on Windows? I'm trying to use a vcpkg.json file so dependencies are project specific and not system-wide.

  • Restbed

    Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.

    Project mention: How to use C++ as the backend for web dev? | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2022-03-25

    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.

  • lithium
