Coost is a lightweight, cross-platform C++11 base library similar to Boost but much smaller (~1MB static library). It bundles coroutines, a JSON/RPC framework, logging, unit testing, benchmarking, flag parsing, and string/time/file utilities.

Use cases

• add go-style coroutines to a C++ project
• lightweight alternative to boost for C++ utilities
• fast JSON parsing and serialization in C++
• set up unit tests and benchmarks for C++ code
• build a JSON RPC service in C++
• high-performance logging for C++ applications
• parse command line flags and config files in C++

When to choose

• you want a compact all-in-one C++ utility library instead of pulling in many dependencies
• you need go-style coroutines or a coroutine-based network library in C++
• you want logging, JSON, RPC, testing, and flag parsing from a single small library

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested, standards-track library with broad ecosystem support like Boost
• your project requires a permissively audited license (license metadata is non-standard)
• you only need one narrow feature where a dedicated single-purpose library may be better maintained
