About:
Pistache is a modern C++17 framework for building high-performance HTTP and REST APIs. It provides a clean, asynchronous API leveraging epoll/kqueue for scalability. Its value proposition lies in combining ease of use with low-latency execution.

Key Features:

Asynchronous event loop powered by epoll/kqueue
Modern C++17 API with clean syntax
Header-only library for easy integration
Built-in REST routing and static file serving

Use Cases:

Building high-performance REST APIs
Creating microservices in C++
Developing low-latency network applications

Alternatives:

cpp-httplib – Simpler synchronous option, less suited for high concurrency than Pistache
Boost.Beast – Lower-level WebSocket/HTTP implementation, requires more boilerplate code
