Features

• C++ Web Frameworks - A high-performance C++ web framework for building HTTP servers with routing and middleware.
• Compile-Time Parameter Bindings - Binds URL path segments to typed C++ function arguments at compile time for type-safe parameter extraction.
• Middleware-Based Request Pipelines - Implements a configurable middleware pipeline for processing cross-cutting concerns on incoming requests.
• C++ HTTP Server Libraries - A C++ library that handles HTTP requests and responses with route matching and parameter extraction.
• Type-Safe Parameter Mapping - Provides type-safe extraction of URL parameters with compile-time type checking for route handlers.
• Request Middleware - Provides a middleware system to insert custom processing logic like authentication and logging into request handling.
• Route Pattern Parsers - Parses URL route patterns at compile time for typed parameter extraction and zero-runtime overhead.
• Asynchronous Event Loops - Provides an asynchronous event loop for non-blocking I/O operations and timer management.
• Route-to-Callback Mapping - Associates URL patterns with functions that produce HTTP responses including text and JSON.
• Middleware Pipelines - Inserts custom processing steps like authentication and logging into the request-response lifecycle.
• Cross-Cutting Concerns - Uses the middleware pipeline to enforce cross-cutting policies such as authentication and logging across routes.
• Server-Side REST API Frameworks - Provides a server-side framework for building REST APIs that accept JSON and return structured responses.
• Route Handlers - Maps URL paths to handler functions for custom request processing logic.
• URL Parameter Extraction - Extracts dynamic path segments from URLs and delivers them as typed arguments to route handlers.
• Thread-Pooled - Offloads route handler execution to a configurable thread pool to keep I/O responsive.
• JSON Serialization Libraries - Automatically parses and serializes JSON data in route handlers and responses using Boost.JSON.
• JSON Response Serializers - Serializes structured data into JSON format for HTTP response bodies.
• WebSocket Servers - Manages persistent bidirectional WebSocket connections for real-time communication in a C++ server.
• JSON Serialization - Converts JSON request bodies into native objects and serializes responses back to JSON automatically.
• Real-Time Web Communication - Manages persistent bidirectional WebSocket connections for real-time data exchange.
• JSON Serialization - Ships built-in JSON serialization and deserialization for structured data in HTTP responses and requests.
• Credential Authentication - Validates credentials from the Authorization header to authenticate incoming HTTP requests.
• Server-Side Template Rendering - Generates dynamic HTML pages by processing Mustache-inspired templates with server-side data.
• HTML Template Renderers - Generates dynamic HTML pages by processing templates with route data.
• Logic-less Template Engines - Provides a logic-less Mustache-inspired template engine for server-side HTML rendering.
• Multipart Form Parsing - Parses multipart/form-data requests to extract uploaded files and form fields from HTTP bodies.
• Real-Time Communication - Manages persistent bidirectional WebSocket connections for low-latency real-time data exchange.
• Web Development - Micro-framework for Web services.
• Web Frameworks - Microframework for web services with Flask-like routing.
