Open Source C++ Web Development Frameworks

CppCMS is the web development framework written in C++, that is aimed on development of high performance web application. It uses different web APIs, most noticably FastCGI, as a web layer and various databases as a storage backed.

Crow is C++ microframework for web. (inspired by Python Flask). If you just want to use crow, copy amalgamate/crow_all.h and include it. C++ compiler with good C++11 support (tested with g++>=4.8). Provide an amalgamated header file crow_all.h with every features. Handler arguments type check at compile time. Now supporting VS2013 with limited functionality (only run-time check for url is available.) Out-of-source build with CMake is recommended.

CPPSP (C++ Server Pages) is an open source web application framework similar to ASP.NET. It features a template parser that parses, compiles, and loads CPPSP pages automatically at runtime. CPPSP pages have a very similar syntax to ASP and ASP.NET, where all code is considered HTML by default, and server-side active code can be embedded using "<% ... %>". CPPSP is built upon the CPoll asynchronous I/O and utility library, which offers simple I/O abstraction, network abstraction, memory management, and container classes. CPPSP project home page: http://xa.us.to/cppsp/index.cppsp Main development happens on github at: https://github.com/xaxaxa/workspace/ Documentation is currently being worked on, but there is a doxygen reference at: http://xa.us.to/cppsp/doxygen/html/classcppsp_1_1_page.html GCC 4.7 or above is required even for the binary release because .cppsp pages need to be compiled at runtime. CPPSP currently only supports linux (due to the use of epoll).

Ducky is the web application framework with many possibilities. Current status is a planning. For further information see the project homepage. This project will have more description when production process will be alive.

Modular is a Web-development framework bringing component programming to Web. It also provide built in caching, config file parsing, Templates parsing, Sessions, CGI, and Database support.

Oat++ has zero dependencies and it's easily portable with a wide range of supported platforms. With Oat++ Simple-API it's easy and fun to build flexible and robust APIs. With Oat++ Async-API you can handle over 5 Million concurrent connections on a single server. Oat++ ORM provides an easy and unified way to access databases. Oat++ relies on Object-Mapping throughout its codebase to ensure consistency of APIs and data models. Automatically document endpoints with Swagger-UI and OpenAPI 3.0.0. Oat++ is used for many different purposes, from building REST APIs that run on embedded devices to building microservices and highly-loaded cloud applications. Theoretically, Oat++ can be easily ported everywhere where you have threads and network stack. With an additional comparably small effort, it can be ported almost everywhere depending on how much you strip it and what would be the final binary size.

The motivation of pion is not to build yet another web server or web application framework, but to help provide basic HTTP(S) functionality to new or existing C++ applications. If you're working on a Boost C++ application and would just like to use HTTP to provide a simple user interface or interact with run-time data, then pion might be for you.

Silicon is a C++ abstraction built on top of high-performance networking libraries. Its goal is to ease the writing of web APIs without compromising on performance. A simple mono-procedure API serving a static string under the route /hello/world. mhd_json_serve is a Silicon backend. It takes an API and serves it with the microhttpd C library. It relies on the JSON format whenever it has to encode or decode objects (procedures parameters and return values). Silicon relies on static objects (i.e. not hashmaps) to model objects. They embed static introspection in their type such that the JSON serializer knows about their members' names and types. In Silicon, parameters are strongly typed and declared next to the procession route. If any error occurs during the decoding (i.e. a missing or ill-formated parameter), the framework does not call the procedure and send an error to the client.

WAFPP is a web application framework written in C++, optimized for performance, scalability and easy localization. It employs a MVC architecture, using serveral daemons that communicate via SOAP and XML/XSLT technology for rendering web pages.

WUtils is a set of C++ utility classes for the Wt C++/JavaScript web framework. This library needs a C++11 compiler. There is both a hg repository and a git repository, pick the one you prefer, they are always synchronized.

== THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED TO https://github.com/byjg/xmlnuke == XMLNuke is a Web Development Framework focused on produce the data. You can to create applications very rich by producing natively XML or JSON and the Framework transforms this data to another formats including XHTML.

libdodo is not a web framework but a toolkit for building fast and scalable web applications easy. Its purposes is to develop as complex systems under high load that require good stability as small and fast applications for embedded world.
