POCO C++ Libraries
The POCO C++ Libraries are a collection of Open Source C++ class
libraries that simplify and accelerate the development of
network-centric, portable applications in C++. The libraries integrate
perfectly with the C++ Standard Library and fill many of the functional
gaps left open by it. Their modular and efficient design and
implementation makes the POCO C++ Libraries extremely well suited
for embedded development, an area where the C++ programming language is
becoming increasingly popular, due to its suitability for both low-level
(device I/O, interrupt handlers, etc.) and high-level object-oriented
development. Of course, the POCO C++ Libraries are also ready for enterprise-level challenges.
Get Things Done Smart
The POCO C++ Libraries free developers from re-inventing the wheel, and allow them to spend their time on more worthwhile areas, such as getting things done quickly and working on the features that put their application ahead of the competition.
The POCO C++ Libraries are built strictly on standard ANSI/ISO C++, including the standard library. The developers of POCO attempt to find a good balance between using advanced C++ features and keeping the classes comprehensible and the code clean, consistent and easy to maintain.
