## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, websocket, networking, http-client
- domain: networking, backend, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cpp, cross-platform
- tags: header-only, tcp, ssl, ipv6, multithreaded, high-performance, cpp11, vcpkg, linux, macos
