A simple C++ REST client library that wraps libcurl for making HTTP requests. It offers both a static-method API for quick calls and a configurable Connection object for advanced features like connection reuse, timeouts, and authentication.

Use cases

• make http requests from c++
• call rest api in c++
• c++ http client library wrapping libcurl
• send post and put requests with json from c++
• configure timeouts and basic auth for http calls in c++
• reuse connections for rest calls in c++

When to choose

• you need a lightweight C++ wrapper around libcurl for REST calls
• you want a simple static API for common HTTP verbs without configuration
• you need configurable options like timeouts, redirects, and basic auth
• you want connection reuse for repeated requests to the same endpoint

When to avoid

• you need async or non-blocking HTTP requests
• you need advanced features like HTTP/2, streaming, or multipart uploads
• you prefer a full-featured client like libcurl directly or a higher-level framework
• your project does not use C++ or cannot link against libcurl
