    The C++ REST SDK provides tools for cloud-based client-server communication using an asynchronous C++ API. Key features include:

    • Communication: HTTP client/server, WebSockets client, and oAuth.
    • Data Handling: JSON, URI, and asynchronous streams.
    • Concurrency: PPL Tasks (Parallel Patterns Library) for composing asynchronous operations based on C++ 11 features.
    • Supported Platforms: Windows desktop, Windows Store (UWP), Linux, OS X, Unix, iOS, and Android.

    master

    The C++ REST SDK can be installed via several package managers depending on your platform:

    • Windows (vcpkg): Use vcpkg install cpprestsdk cpprestsdk:x64-windows.
    • Debian/Ubuntu (apt-get): Use sudo apt-get install libcpprest-dev.
    • Fedora (dnf): Use sudo dnf install cpprest-devel.
    • macOS (Homebrew): Use brew install cpprestsdk.
    • Windows for Android (NuGet): Use Install-Package cpprestsdk.android in the Package Manager console.

  3. Configure CMake to use cpprestsdk

    master

    To use the C++ REST SDK in a CMake project, use find_package(cpprestsdk REQUIRED) and link against the cpprestsdk::cpprest target.

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)
project(main)

find_package(cpprestsdk REQUIRED)

add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE cpprestsdk::cpprest)
