CppCoro is a C++ library providing general-purpose coroutine abstractions built on the Coroutines TS, including task and generator types, awaitable synchronization primitives, schedulers, and async file/networking I/O. It is an experimental exploration of high-performance asynchronous programming primitives for C++.

Use cases

• write async await style code in C++
• lazy sequence generation with coroutines
• await multiple tasks concurrently with when_all
• async file and socket I/O with coroutines
• cancellable asynchronous operations
• build a static thread pool for coroutine scheduling

When to choose

• you need coroutine primitives (task, generator, async generators) on MSVC or Clang with Coroutines TS support
• you want lightweight async synchronization primitives and cancellation tokens
• you are exploring high-performance async C++ patterns

When to avoid

• you need C++20 std::coroutine support with active maintenance and broad compiler coverage
• you need production networking with TLS, HTTP clients, or cross-platform guarantees
• you need a library with frequent updates and long-term support commitments
