Hei Community,

we're searching for a suitable c++ library to perform REST requests and parse Json to integrate into toolkit dlls.

Are there any recomendations?

We tryed cpprest/casablanca from microsoft already. We build a sample client without creo and everthing works fine until we integrate it into our creo dll. With this library the dll is not able to be started in creo anymore.

Thanks for your suggestions.

One suggestion would be. You can create Jlink application and do REST operation in Java. If you do not find suitable API in Jlink, you will have to create toolkit application. There are jlink API's to load dll and call C++ methods.

I have not tried it. This is my guess.

For parsing/building JSON messages - I've used RapidJson in the past before. It is very reliable, very fast, and really has great functionality. It is also a header-only library, which is REALLY NICE if you have to compile across multiple versions of Creo.

Then for performing REST requests, the biggest name on the block is really libcurl, which we compile alongside openssl

Past that, I've heard of others that can be helpful such as POCO: https://pocoproject.org/pro/docs/00153-RemotingNGTutorialPart4.html

Hope this helps!
