wfrest is a fast, asynchronous C++ micro web framework for building REST APIs, built on top of the C++ Workflow parallel computing and async networking engine. It provides routing, path/query parameters, file upload, JSON handling, cookies, HTTPS, blueprints, and built-in MySQL/Redis integration.

Use cases

• build a rest api in c++
• async http server framework for c++
• serve static files and handle file uploads in c++
• create json endpoints with routing
• https server with redis and mysql in c++
• server-sent events push from c++ backend

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, high-performance async C++ web framework
• you want REST API development in C++ with minimal boilerplate
• your stack already uses C++ Workflow and you need an HTTP layer

When to avoid

• you need a cross-platform framework (Linux only)
• you prefer a full-featured framework with large ecosystem like Drogon or Pistache alternatives
• your team is not comfortable with modern C++ (C++17-era lambdas, variadic templates)
