About:
RangeV3 is a foundational library that brings the C++20 Ranges framework to older C++14 and C++17 compilers. It provides a modern, composable, and functional approach to handling sequences of data, replacing verbose iterator-based loops with clear, declarative syntax. This library serves as a proving ground for features destined for the C++ standard library.

Key Features:

Lazy evaluation of range operations for performance
Composable algorithms using a pipe syntax
Full compatibility with C++14 and C++17
Provides the basis for C++20 Ranges and Views

Use Cases:

Modernizing legacy C++ codebases to use declarative syntax
Implementing complex data processing pipelines efficiently
Preparing code for future migration to C++20/23 standards

Alternatives:

C++20 <ranges> – The official standard library version; requires a C++20 compliant compiler.
Boost.Range – An older, heavier-weight library with similar goals but less modern syntax.
