Silicon is a high-performance, middleware-oriented C++14 HTTP web framework. The project has been rewritten and merged into the Lithium libraries, so new users should use matt-42/lithium instead.
Use cases
- build a fast http api in c++
- serve endpoints with a c++ web framework
- compose middleware-based request handling in c++
- build a backend server with database access in c++
- replace heavy web frameworks with a lightweight c++14 option
When to choose
- you need a high-performance, low-overhead C++ HTTP backend
- you want a middleware-oriented design with compile-time routing
- you are already invested in the Silicon/Lithium ecosystem
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use matt-42/lithium instead
- you need a framework with active community and frequent releases
- you want a batteries-included framework with extensive documentation and ecosystem
