cURLpp is a C++ object-oriented wrapper around the libcURL client-side URL transfer library. It adds type safety, exception safety, and C++ standard library types on top of libcURL's C API for HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and other protocol transfers.

Use cases

• make http requests from c++
• wrap libcurl in c++ classes
• download files over ftp or https in c++
• type-safe url transfer in c++
• exception-safe http client for c++

When to choose

• you want an object-oriented, type-safe, exception-safe C++ interface to libcurl
• you need to query option values from curl handles
• you prefer C++ standard library structures over libcurl's C types

When to avoid

• you are fine using the raw libcURL C API directly, as its maintainer suggests
• you need a modern, actively developed C++ HTTP client with async features
• you need guaranteed license compliance, since the repo lacks a clear license file
