poco — Powerful Cross-Platform C++ Libraries for Network-Centric Applications

Overview

The POCO C++ Libraries are a collection of C++ class libraries designed for building network- and internet-based applications. They are highly portable, efficient, and modern, focusing on practical solutions for common problems. With a focus on "internet-age" applications, POCO is based on and complements the C++ Standard Library/STL.

Key Features

Comprehensive set of C++ class libraries for network-centric applications
Highly portable across various platforms, from embedded to server
Written in modern, 100% ANSI/ISO Standard C++
Open Source, licensed under the Boost Software License

Use Cases

Building network-centric applications for desktop, server, mobile, IoT, and embedded systems
Solving frequently-encountered practical problems in C++ development
Complementing the C++ Standard Library/STL for enhanced functionality

Advantages

Highly portable and available on many different platforms
Efficient, modern, and 100% ANSI/ISO Standard C++ codebase
Open Source with a permissive license, allowing for flexible use

Limitations / Considerations

Requires CMake 3.15 or newer and a C++17 compiler for building
Optional dependencies on OpenSSL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and ODBC client libraries

Boost C++ Libraries: A widely-used collection of C++ libraries that complement the C++ Standard Library. POCO is more focused on network-centric applications.
Qt: A cross-platform application framework for developing with C++, offering a wide range of functionalities. POCO is more focused on libraries for network-centric applications.
cpprestsdk: A C++ REST SDK for cloud-based client-server communication. POCO offers a broader range of libraries for network-centric applications.
