About

What is poco?

The POCO C++ Libraries are a comprehensive collection of C++ class libraries designed for building network- and internet-based applications. Conceptually similar to Java Class Library or .NET Framework, POCO focuses on providing solutions to frequently encountered practical problems in software development. It is written in efficient, modern, 100% ANSI/ISO Standard C++ and complements the C++ Standard Library/STL. The libraries are highly portable, supporting a wide range of platforms from embedded systems to servers. POCO is open source, licensed under the Boost Software License, and offers features for JSON, SQL, networking, XML, logging, configuration, HTTP clients/servers, Redis, and MongoDB client access.
