POCO C++ Libraries

POCO Logo 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.

POCO Libraries

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.

Features At-A-Glance

  • threads, thread synchronization and advanced abstractions for multithreaded programming
  • streams and filesystem access
  • shared libraries and class loading
  • powerful logging and error reporting
  • security
  • network programming (TCP/IP sockets, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, SSL/TLS, SSH, Zeroconf, etc.)
  • XML parsing (SAX2 and DOM) and generation
  • configuration file and options handling
  • SQL database access

Open Source

The POCO C++ Libraries are developed in an Open Source project, founded and sponsored by Applied Informatics. Developers from all over the world contribute to the project. For more information, please visit the POCO C++ Libraries Community Website.
