Why is this library so verbose...? #1678

Closed ughstudios closed 2 years ago

ughstudios commented 2 years ago 
const std::string GetRegistrationURL() {
    return std::string(BASE_URL) + std::string("/register");
}

auto uri_str = utility::conversions::to_string_t(utility::conversions::utf8_to_utf16(GetRegistrationURL()));
uri registration_uri(uri_str);

Why is this the only way to actually use std::string in this api??

most of it is just (possible overuse of) namespaces. Some using namespace or using directives can reduce verbosity considerably.
