I am a C++ developer who is interested in using Bluetooth for my projects. I have been using boost and I appreciate the high-quality and portable libraries that it provides. However, I noticed that boost does not have a Bluetooth library.
I think that adding a Bluetooth library to boost would be very beneficial for many C++ developers who want to use classic Bluetooth in a cross-platform and easy way. There are some existing C++ libraries for Bluetooth, such as BlueZ for Linux, and Winsock for Windows, but they are low-level and platform-specific. A Bluetooth library that follows the boost standards and conventions would be a great addition to the boost ecosystem.
Therefore, I would like to request that a Bluetooth library be added to boost. Ideally, the library should support the following features:
Discovering and pairing with nearby Bluetooth devices
Establishing and closing connections with Bluetooth devices
Sending and receiving data over Bluetooth sockets
Using RFCOMM and L2CAP protocols for serial port emulation and transport layer, respectively
Supporting multiple platforms, such as Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS, and Android
Having a clear and consistent API that is easy to use and well documented
I hope that the boost developers and community will consider this request and work on developing a Bluetooth library for boost. I think that this would be a valuable and useful feature for many C++ developers who want to use classic Bluetooth in their projects.
I am also willing to help with the development and testing of the Bluetooth library. Please let me know if I can contribute in any way.
