Burst C++ Library

July 2, 2010

I made a little C++ library called burst. The idea is to extend the awesomeness of Boost with convenience functions for common tasks (mainly my own common tasks, but maybe others can benefit as well). The current trunk is here. Here’s a quick example:

And just that quick (3 lines) you’re sending an HTTP request to boost.org’s root page and streaming the result to STDOUT. Pretty cool, eh? What if you want a different website?

It’s nearly as easy as Ruby’s open-uri! Inheriting from it makes it even better, since you can quickly customize a web api class around the gory HTTP details Burst.Asio.HTTP.Client does for you.

    Great post but honestly the sheer amount of Google Ads really make the readers experience much lower.

    I’m having a “lower experience” right now – time to go to the bathroom. Spam-bot.
