Pistache is a modern and elegant HTTP and REST framework for C++.
It is entirely written in pure-C++11 and provides a clear and pleasant API
Full documentation is located at http://pistache.io.
Pistache is an open-source project and will always stay open-source. Contributors are welcome!
Pistache was created by Mathieu Stefani, who can be reached via cpplang Slack channel. Drop a private message to @octal and he will invite you to the channel dedicated to Pistache.
For those that prefer IRC over Slack, the rag-tag crew of maintainers are on #pistache on freenode.
Hope to see you there !
To download the latest available release, clone the repository over github.
git clone https://github.com/oktal/pistache.git
Then, init the submodules:
git submodule update --init
Now, compile the sources:
cd pistache
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
sudo make install
If you want the examples built, then change change the cmake above to:
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPISTACHE_BUILD_EXAMPLES=true ..
After running the above, you can then cd into the build/examples directory and run make.
Optionally, you can also build and run the tests (tests require the examples):
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DPISTACHE_BUILD_EXAMPLES=true -DPISTACHE_BUILD_TESTS=true ..
make test
Be patient, async_test can take some time before completing.
And that's it, now you can start playing with your newly installed Pistache framework.
Some other CMAKE defines:
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PISTACHE_BUILD_EXAMPLES | False | Build all of the example apps |
| PISTACHE_BUILD_TESTS | False | Build all of the unit tests |
