POCO C++ Libraries ================== Build Status ------------ - Travis: [](https://travis-ci.org/pocoproject/poco) - AppVeyor: [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/obiltschnig/poco) 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. ---- To start using POCO, see the [Guided Tour](http://pocoproject.org/docs-1.5.3/00100-GuidedTour.html) and [Getting Started](http://pocoproject.org/docs-1.5.3/00200-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). ---- 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 occurence. 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). This includes Visual Studio project and solution files (.sln, .vcproj, .vcxproj, .vcxproj.filters).
