What it is

Browse curated C++ and C frameworks, libraries, resources.

Real use case example

"A C++ developer, building a game, wants to add physics simulation. They browse 'awesome-cpp' and learn about the 'PhysX' library, which simplifies the integration process. They install and use PhysX, achieving the desired physics effects with minimal additional work, and ship their game faster."

When to use it
  • โ€ขWhen starting a new C++ project and needing to choose the right libraries and frameworks

Ready-to-paste prompt
To find a JSON parsing library, search for 'JSON' in the `README.md` file and explore the listed libraries, such as `jsoncpp` or `nlohmann/json`
Heads up: The awesome-cpp list is not a package manager, and users need to manually evaluate and integrate the listed libraries and frameworks into their projects, which can be time-consuming and require additional research
