Brynet is a header-only, cross-platform C++11 TCP network library with no external dependencies. It supports multithreaded high-performance networking including HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, SSL, and IPv6.

Use cases

• build a high-performance TCP server in C++
• add WebSocket support to a C++ application
• write a cross-platform C++ network service without dependencies
• implement an HTTP/HTTPS server in C++
• handle multithreaded socket communication
• build a low-latency game or messaging server

When to choose

• you need a dependency-free, header-only C++ networking layer
• you want TCP with optional HTTP/WebSocket/SSL in one library
• you target Linux, Windows, and macOS from a single codebase
• you need fine-grained multithreaded control over network and logic threads

When to avoid

• you want a full-featured application framework rather than a network library
• you need higher-level async abstractions like coroutines or an event-loop API similar to libuv
• your project requires C++ standards below C++11 or non-conforming compilers
• you prefer a widely adopted library with large community support
