Wt is a C++ web toolkit for building highly interactive web applications using a widget-based GUI abstraction, without writing JavaScript. It bundles a widget/rendering library, an async HTTP/WebSockets server, multiple connectors (FastCGI, ISAPI), a C++ ORM (Wt::Dbo), and an authentication framework.

Use cases

  • build interactive web apps in C++ without JavaScript
  • develop a web GUI with widgets and signal/slot events
  • map C++ objects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, or Firebird with an ORM
  • add authentication and session security to a C++ web app
  • generate dynamic PDF reports from a web application
  • render 2D and 3D graphics (WebGL/canvas) in a C++ web app
  • deploy a self-contained C++ web server with WebSockets support

When to choose

  • your team writes C++ and wants full-stack web development in one language
  • you need a server-driven, widget-based alternative to JavaScript SPA frameworks
  • you want built-in protection against XSS, CSRF, and SQL injection
  • you need an integrated C++ ORM and auth framework alongside the UI layer
  • you must support non-JavaScript or plain-HTML user agents and crawlers

When to avoid

  • you want a large ecosystem of JavaScript libraries, packages, and community resources
  • your team primarily works in Python, Node.js, or another higher-level language
  • you need fine-grained control over frontend markup and CSS for custom designs
  • you are building a simple static site or REST API only
