About:
The C++ REST SDK (Casablanca) is a Microsoft project that simplifies building cloud-based client-server communication. It provides a modern, asynchronous API for creating HTTP/REST services and clients, handling JSON data parsing and serialization seamlessly. This library enables C++ developers to efficiently integrate with cloud services and build scalable web services.
Key Features:
  • Asynchronous HTTP client and server capabilities
  • First-class support for JSON data handling and parsing
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)
  • Integration with Azure services and cloud platforms
Use Cases:
  • Building RESTful APIs and web services in C++
  • Creating cloud-native client applications
  • Integrating C++ backend systems with Azure or AWS
Alternatives:
  • libcurl – Lower-level networking library requiring manual HTTP implementation
  • Boost.Beast – Part of Boost, provides low-level HTTP/WebSocket primitives
