About:
CPR (C++ Requests) is a modern, wrapper around libcurl designed to simplify HTTP communication in C++ applications. It provides a clean, Python Requests-inspired API for making GET, POST, and other requests, handling JSON parsing, and managing headers. The library focuses on ease of use and performance, leveraging C++11 features for a streamlined developer experience.
Key Features:
  • Python Requests-inspired API for intuitive usage
  • Built-in support for JSON handling via nlohmann/json
  • Asynchronous request support with std::future
  • Header, cookie, and authentication management
  • Automatic connection pooling and SSL/TLS support
Use Cases:
  • Integrating REST APIs into C++ applications
  • Building microservices or backend clients
  • Web scraping and data fetching in C++
Alternatives:
  • libcurl – More low-level and verbose; CPR provides a higher-level, modern C++ abstraction.
  • Boost.Beast – Part of Boost, offering WebSocket and low-level HTTP; CPR is simpler for standard HTTP client tasks.
