The second beta of restc-cpp is released

1 min read

Today I released the second beta of restc-cpp.

Restc-cpp is a modern REST client for C++ that utilize boost::asio coroutines to make asynchronous HTTP and REST programming trivial, and even fun!

Unlike most (all?) similar projects, restc-cpp support direct serialization and deserialization between native C++ classes and json (with a little help from boost::fusion).
