Restinio
A C++17 header-only library for building embedded HTTP/WebSocket servers with async request handling and Express-like routing.
What is Restinio?
RESTinio is a C++17 library that provides an embedded HTTP/WebSocket server for building REST APIs and network services directly within C++ applications. It solves the problem of needing a performant, asynchronous HTTP server implementation without relying on external runtime environments or complex dependencies, offering header-only convenience with production-ready stability.
C++ developers building network services, REST APIs, or real-time applications that require embedded HTTP/WebSocket server capabilities, particularly those prioritizing performance and low-level control in resource-constrained or high-throughput scenarios.
Developers choose RESTinio for its combination of C++ performance, async-first design, and ease of integration as a header-only library, providing Express-like routing and WebSocket support without sacrificing the efficiency expected from native code.
