Drogon C++ Backend Server

Drogon is a high-performance C++ framework for developing web applications. Designed for modern C++ (C++17 and beyond), Drogon is fast, scalable, and supports both synchronous and asynchronous programming. With its robust feature set, it’s an excellent choice for building high-performance backend servers.

Features

• High Performance: Optimized for speed and efficiency, making it one of the fastest C++ frameworks available.
• Asynchronous and Synchronous Support: Flexible API design allows for both synchronous and asynchronous request handling.
• Built-in ORM: Simplifies database interactions with an easy-to-use Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) system.
• Template Engine: Supports embedded template languages for dynamic HTML generation.
• Full HTTP/HTTPS Support: Comprehensive support for HTTP and HTTPS protocols, including WebSocket.
• RESTful API: Native support for creating RESTful APIs, including routing and parameter handling.
• Middleware Support: Easily extend functionality with custom middleware.
• Cross-Platform: Works seamlessly on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• C++17 compatible compiler (e.g., GCC 7+, Clang 5+, MSVC 2017+)
• CMake 3.10+
• Boost libraries
• OpenSSL (for HTTPS support)

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/alamjamal/drogoncpp_server/
   cd drogon-backend-server

2. Build the Project:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   make

3. Run the Server:

   ./drogon_backend_server

Basic Usage

Drogon allows you to define routes and handlers in a clean and straightforward manner.

#include <drogon/drogon.h>

int main() {
    // Define a simple route
    drogon::app().registerHandler("/hello",
        [](const drogon::HttpRequestPtr &req,
           std::function<void (const drogon::HttpResponsePtr &)> &&callback) {
            auto resp = drogon::HttpResponse::newHttpResponse();
            resp->setBody("Hello, Drogon!");
            callback(resp);
        });

    // Run the app
    drogon::app().run();
    return 0;
}
