Acl is a cross-platform C/C++ network communication library and server programming framework supporting Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS. It bundles a high-performance coroutine (fiber) library, HTTP/SMTP/MQTT/Redis/Memcached protocol clients, codecs (XML/JSON/MIME/BASE64), a unified database client layer for MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite, and multi-model server frameworks with a process-management daemon.

Use cases

  • write high-concurrency tcp servers with coroutines in c++
  • build an http or websocket server in c++ on linux and windows
  • connect to redis, memcached, or mqtt from c/c++
  • query mysql, postgresql, and sqlite through one unified c++ api
  • implement a network client with blocking-style code that scales like non-blocking io
  • manage and supervise multiple server processes with acl_master
  • parse and encode mime, , xml, and base64 in c++
  • send email via smtp from a c++ application

When to choose

  • you need a battle-tested cross-platform c/c++ networking stack with coroutine support
  • you want blocking-style code with high concurrency without callback complexity
  • you need many protocol clients (http, redis, mqtt, smtp, memcached) in one library
  • you are building long-running server processes on linux or windows

When to avoid

  • you work in a managed language like java, go, or python with native equivalents
  • you need only a tiny single-purpose http client and prefer a minimal dependency
  • your project cannot accept the LGPL-2.1 license
  • you want an async framework with a large ecosystem of middleware and tooling
