POCO C++ Libraries [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/pocoproject/poco.png?branch=develop)](https://travis-ci.org/pocoproject/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.

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).

|
||
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 [coding styleguide](http://www.appinf.com/download/CppCodingStyleGuide.pdf).
|
||
|
||
We use the branching model described [here](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/).
|
||
|
||
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).
