How about Crow?
Sure, the D++ Discord bot library is a good example of an implementation of REST in C++. I wouldn't say it's particularly modern as it doesn't make a lot of use of modern C++ features such as constexpr, string_view and so on, but it's not too bad.
Lots of other options have been mentioned, but I'll throw Oat++ into the mix. I used it for this purpose and it was reasonably painless.
I use this all the time to expose an admin rest interface to my public installations.
Restc-cpp: Client library using asio stackfull coroutines. It also handles serialization to and from Json automatically if the C++ classes are declared with boost::fusion.
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.
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've been planning/dreaming up a new project that contain both (high level) server and client code, offering asio continuations, and C++20 co-routine support (via asio and/or the new C++ network library that may arrive one day). The goal is to provide something that makes it simple to use HTTP/ REST and gRPC from C++, supporting HTTP 1.1 to 3.0. Personally I find boost.Beast hard to use correctly. Also, it lacks support for HTTP 2 and 3. The placeholder for this project is beauty ;)
CppRestSDK is deprecated.
You know what is curious? There is a lib with the same name of your user similar to httplib: https://matt-42.github.io/lithium/
I think userver (https://userver.tech/) is good way for you. 🐙 userver is the modern open source asynchronous framework with a rich set of abstractions for fast and comfortable creation of C++ microservices, services and utilities.
