Design a library where JSON is a first-class API metaphor for interacting with RESTful servers.
- Focused on REST interactions with JSON. Limiting allows us to simplify the usage and make it feel very C++ instead of the C-like API of Win32 or OpenSSL.
- Modern C++ features: C++20 is required!
- Header only
- Use native implementations for the actual IO: Windows support uses WinHttp library.
- Initial implementation is for Windows using WinHTTP.
- Alternate implementation using OpenSSL tbd.
- Support for literals to allow
_GET,_DELETE, etc. - Support for std::format and concepts.
- Be instructional and use as little code as necessary.
- The focus is on the interface to the end user.
- Performance is not the objective.
- Simplicity (hide the underlying implementation)
