## What it is
cpp_redis is a lightweight C++11 Redis client library supporting synchronous and asynchronous operations, pipelining, pub/sub, sentinels, and high availability, with no external dependencies. This original repository is no longer maintained; users should use the cpp-redis/cpp_redis fork instead.

## Use cases
- use redis from c++
- async redis client for c++11
- redis pub/sub subscriber in c++
- lightweight redis library with no dependencies
- redis pipelining and sentinel support in c++

## When to choose
- you need a dependency-free C++11 Redis client and accept using the maintained fork
- you want async or sync Redis access with pipelining and sentinel support

## When to avoid
- you need active maintenance, bug fixes, or issue support - this repo is abandoned
- you want a client with a built-in network module or newer C++ standard support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database-driver, caching
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend
- platform: cpp, windows, cross-platform
- tags: redis-client, cpp11, async, pipelining, pub-sub, sentinel, no-dependencies, unmaintained, linux, macos
