- 🎉 Welcome the new oatpp version
1.3.0. Now it's better than ever! See the changelog for details. 🎉
Oat++ is a modern Web Framework for C++. It's fully loaded and contains all necessary components for effective production level development. It's also light and has a small memory footprint.

ENDPOINT_INFO(getUserById) {
info->summary = "Get one User by userId";
info->addResponse<Object<UserDto>>(Status::CODE_200, "application/json");
info->addResponse<Object<StatusDto>>(Status::CODE_404, "application/json");

QUERY(createUser,
"INSERT INTO users (username, email, role) VALUES (:username, :email, :role);",
PARAM(oatpp::String, username),
PARAM(oatpp::String, email),
PARAM(oatpp::Enum<UserRoles>::AsString, role))- "Oat" is something light, organic, and green. It can be easily cooked and consumed with no effort.
- "++" gives a hint that it is "something" for C++.
Oat++ is used for many different purposes, from building REST APIs that run on embedded devices to building microservices and highly-loaded cloud applications.
But the majority of use cases appears to be in IoT and Robotics.
Theoretically, Oat++ can be easily ported everywhere where you have threads and network stack. With an additional comparably small effort, it can be ported almost everywhere depending on how much you strip it and what would be the final binary size.
See supported platforms for additional info.
About 1Mb, depending on C/C++ std-lib and oatpp version.
Always choose Simple API wherever possible. Simple API is more developed and makes the code cleaner.
Async API is designed for small, specific tasks that run at high concurrency levels ex.:
- Serving file downloads to a large number of concurrent users (1K users and more).
- Streaming to a large number of clients (1K or more).
- Websocket Chat servers.
For all other purposes use simple API.
