Is this project still maintained? #308

This project looks like a very good fit for what I want, but it shows signs of being abandoned.

If it is not abandoned, I wonder if the author and/or active contributors have given any thought to adapting Crow to use Boost::beast rather than using Boost::asio directly.

Also, if the project is maintained, it seems like there should be another release. The one release tagged v0.1 is several months older than the most recent commit.

Same as #227

My guess, its not. Thus for my next project I will be looking for alternatives to crow and probably when find time, to replace crow in my current ones.

Recently found this one ( https://github.com/0xdead4ead/beast_http_server ). Maybe worth checking it out?

What is the different between "Boost::beast rather than using Boost::asio directly"?

At this time point, we need a Flask like micro webframework, with Router, Template, Blueprint, DB support.

It's better there is a Flask migration of CPP

Boost asio is a C++ interface to tcp and udp sockets functionality provided by your os. So if you want http, rpc or any user-level functionality, you have to implement that your self on top of boost::asio.

Boost::beast is the new addition to boost family which is actually implementation of http, rcp, and other protocols on top of boost::asio.

https://github.com/0xdead4ead/BeastHttp

this repo has a HTTP Client support but only low-level API, They should be merged into one repo...with full web framework and http-client support

@micfan

There is also https://github.com/an-tao/drogon or https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed

Just need to look for something that suits your needs.

@moneroexamples

The https://github.com/an-tao/drogon seems not very Boost.

There is also https://github.com/qicosmos/cinatra.

I wish @mitsuhiko can dump a branch of Flask in C++11...
