Note: This is a fork of zaphoyd/websocketpp, whose last release is 0.8.2 (April 2020), maintained by the cpprest-lts organization for use by cpprest-lts/cpprestsdk. It takes security fixes, fixes for major bugs, and changes needed to build with current compilers and dependencies. It does not plan new features or API changes. Issue #5 describes the scope and the plans.

WebSocket++ is a header only C++ library that implements RFC6455 The WebSocket Protocol. It allows integrating WebSocket client and server functionality into C++ programs. It uses interchangeable network transport modules including one based on raw char buffers, one based on C++ iostreams, and one based on Asio (either via Boost or standalone). End users can write additional transport policies to support other networking or event libraries as needed.

Major Features

Full support for RFC6455
Partial support for Hixie 76 / Hybi 00, 07-17 draft specs (server only)
Message/event based interface

Flexible dependency management (C++11 Standard Library or Boost)
Interchangeable network transport modules (raw, iostream, Asio, or custom)
