POrtable COmponents C++ Libraries are:
--------------------------------------
- A collection of C++ class libraries, conceptually similar to the Java Class Library, the .NET Framework or Apple’s Cocoa.
- Focused on solutions to frequently-encountered practical problems.
- Focused on ‘internet-age’ network-centric applications.
- Written in efficient, modern, 100% ANSI/ISO Standard C++.
- Based on and complementing the C++ Standard Library/STL.
- Highly portable and available on many different platforms.
- Open Source, licensed under the [Boost Software License](https://spdx.org/licenses/BSL-1.0).

To start using POCO, see the [Guided Tour](http://pocoproject.org/docs/00100-GuidedTour.html) and [Getting Started](http://pocoproject.org/docs/00200-GettingStarted.html) documents.

----
POCO has an active user and contributing community, please visit our [web site](http://pocoproject.org), [forum](http://pocoproject.org/forum) and [blog](http://pocoproject.org/blog). 
Answers to POCO-related questions can also be found on [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/poco-libraries).

Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for submitting bugs, feature requests or security issues.

----
In regards to Boost, in spite of some functional overlapping,
POCO is best thought of as a Boost complement (rather than replacement).
Side-by-side use of Boost and POCO is a very common occurrence.

When contributing to POCO, please adhere to our [guidelines](https://github.com/pocoproject/poco/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md).


All text file line endings in the repository must be Unix-style (LF).
