About:
curlcpp provides a clean, object-oriented C++ interface for libcurl, abstracting the complexities of C-style function calls and manual memory management. It enables developers to perform HTTP requests and other network operations using modern C++ idioms and RAII principles. This wrapper simplifies error handling and resource cleanup, making network programming more robust and maintainable.

Key Features:

Object-oriented API design
RAII for automatic resource management
Type-safe configuration of curl options
Support for easy handling of HTTP responses and headers

Use Cases:

Building C++ applications that require HTTP client functionality
Integrating REST API calls into existing C++ codebases
Simplifying file download and upload operations in C++

Alternatives:

libcurl (C API) – The native C library offers more granular control but requires verbose C-style calls and manual memory management.
cpp-httplib – A header-only alternative that is easier to integrate but focuses more on embedded HTTP servers and simple clients.
