About:
Asio is a C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming that provides developers with consistent asynchronous model using modern C++. It offers cross-platform support for socket operations, timers, and custom asynchronous services. The library forms the foundation for many high-performance networking applications and is the basis for the C++20 networking standard.

Key Features:

Cross-platform asynchronous I/O and networking
Proactor and reactor design pattern implementations
SSL/TLS support for secure communications
Highly scalable with support for thousands of concurrent connections
Header-only library with no external dependencies beyond system libraries

Use Cases:

Building high-performance network servers and clients
Developing asynchronous applications with non-blocking I/O
Implementing custom protocol handlers and network services

Alternatives:

libevent – C-based event loop library, less type-safe than Asio's C++ approach
Boost.Asio – Asio originated from Boost; standalone version removes Boost dependency
