C++ RPC

Open-source C++ projects categorized as RPC

RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call In the context of programming. In distributed computing, a remote procedure call is when a computer program causes a procedure to execute in a different address space, which is coded as if it were a normal procedure call, without the programmer explicitly coding the details for the remote interaction.

Top 18 C++ RPC Projects

  • Protobuf

    Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format

  • Project mention: Reverse Engineering Protobuf Definitions from Compiled Binaries | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-09

    For at least 4 years protobuf has had decent support for self-describing messages (very similar to avro) as well as reflection

    https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...

    Xgooglers trying to make do on the cheap will just create a Union of all their messages and include the message def in a self-describing message pattern. Super-sensitive network I/O can elide the message def (empty buffer) and any for RecordIO clone well file compression takes care of the definition.

    Definitely useful to be able to dig out old defs but protobuf maintainers have surprisingly added useful features so you don’t have to.

    Bonus points tho for extracting the protobuf defs that e.g. Apple bakes into their binaries.

  • aria2

    aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source, cross platform download utility operated in command-line. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink.

  • Project mention: Bypass download limits? | /r/Piracy | 2023-12-09

    For sites with limited download speeds I usually use aria2 (via terminal) since it supports segmented/multi connection downloading. But I guess this wouldn't work with 1fichier, since with these sites you usually don't get direct link to the file and/or sites like these limit the number of parallel connections. I also used it for torrents for a while, but I wouldn't recommend doing this anymore.

  • 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.

  • FlatBuffers

    FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library

  • Project mention: FlatBuffers – an efficient cross platform serialization library for many langs | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-18
  • brpc

    brpc is an Industrial-grade RPC framework using C++ Language, which is often used in high performance system such as Search, Storage, Machine learning, Advertisement, Recommendation etc. "brpc" means "better RPC".

  • Project mention: Setting configuration of a Bazel dependency | /r/bazel | 2023-05-06

    I'm trying to depend on this library which has a Bazel build: https://github.com/apache/brpc

  • coost

    A tiny boost library in C++11.

  • Project mention: Write C++ as easy as Golang with coost | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-09
  • ice

    All-in-one solution for creating networked applications with RPC, pub/sub, server deployment, and more.

  • Project mention: The Rise and Fall of Corba (2006) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-01

    We still don't have anything that can do what CORBA could do. gRPC doesn't even come close.

    If you are interested in this type of technology, I recommend looking at ZeroC's Ice. https://zeroc.com

    It's CORBA with all the warts removed, and a lot of other useful stuff added.

  • rpclib

    rpclib is a modern C++ msgpack-RPC server and client library

  • 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.

  • libjson-rpc-cpp

    C++ framework for json-rpc (json remote procedure call)

  • smf

    Fastest RPC in the west

  • erpc

    Embedded RPC (by EmbeddedRPC)

  • zpp_bits

    A lightweight C++20 serialization and RPC library

  • Project mention: How to arrange a bunch of variables into one array of bytes in memory? | /r/cpp | 2023-05-10

    I would either look at https://github.com/eyalz800/zpp_bits or https://github.com/stephenberry/glaze. FYI, glaze both supports json and binary.

  • shadesmar

    Fast C++ IPC using shared memory

  • areg-sdk

    AREG is an asynchronous Object RPC framework to simplify multitasking programming by blurring borders between processes and treating remote objects as if they coexist in the same thread.

  • Project mention: Essentials of Object Oriented and Functional Programming: A Guide to Modular Code | dev.to | 2023-07-27

    FP Libraries: gRPC, ZeroMQ, and AREG are examples of libraries with a special focus on providing possibilities for Interprocess Communication. Developed using C++, they facilitate communication through predefined APIs, emphasizing functional programming concepts.

  • packio

    An asynchronous msgpack-RPC and JSON-RPC library built on top of Boost.Asio.

  • dota2-rpc-client

    Allows you to observe the status of your DotA 2 (Defense of the Ancients 2) match within the Discord, through the Rich Presence service. 🎮

  • XPLPC
