*{project}* is a C++ wrapper for the Mastodon and Pleroma APIs. It replaces
|
|
link:{uri-mastodon-cpp}[mastodon-cpp].
|
|
|
|
We aim to create a library that is comfortable, yet minimal. All API endpoints
|
|
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
|
|
link:{uri-libcurl}[libcurl], a mature and stable library that is available on
|
|
virtually every operating system. 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!
|
|
|
|
