*{project}* is a C++ wrapper for the link:{uri-wp-mastodon}[Mastodon] and
link:{uri-pleroma}[Pleroma] APIs. It replaces
link:{uri-mastodon-cpp}[mastodon-cpp].
We aim to create a library that is comfortable, yet minimal. All API endpoints
2020-01-19 20:52:55 +01:00
from Mastodon and Pleroma are stored in ``enum class``es, to counteract typos
and make your life easier. The network-facing code is built on
2020-01-08 22:47:40 +01:00
link:{uri-libcurl}[libcurl], a mature and stable library that is available on
2020-01-25 20:23:52 +01:00
most operating systems. The library does not parse the responses itself, but
returns to you the raw data, because we know everyone has their favorite JSON
library and we don't want to impose our choice on you!
== Features

* [x] Report which mime types are allowed for posting statuses.
2020-01-18 18:09:58 +01:00
