How and where I can learn about Web sockets, APIs, Wrappers to connect with my C++ code?

• POCO

  14 7,895 9.6 C++

  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.

  

Depends. I'd recommend spending 15 minutes browsing the documentation for sys/socket.h so you know enough of the basics, and then get started with a high-level framework depending on your needs. libcurl is amazing, but might not be optimal for your use-case. It might also be worth considering learning Boost.Asio or the new experimental::net proposal for C++23. If you need a major, integrated solution as part of a larger app already using a toolkit, POCO or Qt can work well. ZeroMQ is also amazing for specialized cases.

• json

  93 40,239 7.7 C++

  JSON for Modern C++

I really like nlohmann/json.

• rsocket-cpp

  1 251 0.0 C++

  C++ implementation of RSocket

  

https://github.com/rsocket/rsocket-cpp/ supports websockets

• RapidJSON

  15 13,852 6.1 C++

  A fast JSON parser/generator for C++ with both SAX/DOM style API

  

RapidJSON is also excellent, like fantastic when performance matters. Not sure there's a much faster JSON implementation anywhere, and I've written my own SAX-style parser as a fun, hobby project for C++.

• InfluxDB
