Cpprestsdk
The C++ REST SDK is a library for asynchronous HTTP and RESTful communication in native C++ applications. It provides a non-blocking network client for sending requests and receiving responses, a JSON parser for serializing and deserializing data, and a WebSocket client library for real-time, full-duplex communication.
The project includes a dedicated OAuth2 authentication client to manage access tokens and authorization flows for secure communication with protected cloud resources. It utilizes a task-based asynchronous model to coordinate background operations and keep application interfaces responsive.
The SDK covers broad networking capabilities including URI management, stream-based data processing for large payloads, and network traffic compression. It abstracts low-level socket operations through platform-specific network backends to support different native operating system libraries.
