Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for C++ Perfect for building REST APIs
ExpressCpp aims to be for C++ the same as express for Node.JS including its ecosystem of middlewares and extensions.
Express and Node.JS:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'));
const port = 3000;
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Listening on port ${port}!`));ExpressCpp:
#include "expresscpp/expresscpp.hpp"
int main() {
auto expresscpp = std::make_shared<expresscpp::ExpressCpp>();
expresscpp->Get("/", [](auto /*req*/, auto res) { res->Send("hello world!"); });
constexpr uint16_t port = 3000u;
expresscpp->Listen(port,[=](auto /*ec*/) { std::cout << "Listening on port " << port << std::endl; }).Run();
return 0;
