Welcome!

The C++ REST SDK is a Microsoft project for cloud-based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. This project aims to help C++ developers connect to and interact with services.

Getting Started

Are you new to the C++ Rest SDK? To get going we recommend you start by taking a look at our tutorial to use the http_client. It walks through how to setup a project to use the C++ Rest SDK and make a basic Http request. Other important information, like how to build the C++ Rest SDK from source, can be located on the documentation page.

What's in the SDK:

• Features - HTTP client/server, JSON, URI, asynchronous streams, WebSockets client, oAuth
• PPL Tasks - A powerful model for composing asynchronous operations based on C++ 11 features
• Platforms - Windows desktop, Windows Store, Windows Phone, Ubuntu, OS X, iOS, and Android
• Support for Visual Studio 2012, 2013, and 2015 with debugger visualizers
• NuGet package with binaries for Windows platforms

Having Trouble?

We'd love to get your review score, whether good or bad, but even more than that, we want to fix your problem. If you submit your issue as a Review, we won't be able to respond to your problem and ask any follow-up questions that may be necessary. The most efficient way to do that is to open a discussion or track it under issues.
