About:
curlpp is a C++ library that provides an object-oriented interface to libcurl, making it significantly easier to perform network operations like HTTP requests. It simplifies complex tasks such as handling URLs, managing connections, and processing data by abstracting the C-based libcurl API into intuitive C++ classes. This wrapper enables developers to integrate robust networking capabilities into their applications with cleaner, more maintainable code.

Key Features:

Object-oriented C++ interface for libcurl
Simplifies URL manipulation and data transfer
Supports SSL/TLS, cookies, and custom headers
Header-only or easy-to-link library

Use Cases:

Building C++ applications that require HTTP client functionality
Integrating web APIs or RESTful services into native software
Developing tools for file downloading or web scraping

Alternatives:

libcurl (C API) – More powerful and flexible but requires manual memory management and is more verbose.
cpp-httplib – A lightweight, header-only HTTP client/server library, often preferred for simpler use cases.
