rpclib - modern msgpack-rpc for C++

Welcome! rpclib is a msgpack-rpc library written using modern C++. The goal of this library is to provide a simple, no-nonsense RPC solution. rpclib is compatible with C++11 and C++14 (currently the difference is that it compiles slightly faster in C++14 mode).

What does it look like?

Here is a very simple example, a kind of hello world for network-related libraries, the "echo" server and client:

#include "rpc/server.h" #include <string> using std :: string ; int main () { rpc :: server srv ( 8080 ); srv . bind ( "echo" , []( string const & s ) { return string ( "> " ) + s ; }); srv . run (); return 0 ; }

#include "rpc/client.h" #include <iostream> #include <string> using std :: string ; int main () { rpc :: client c ( "localhost" , 8080 ); string input , result ; while ( std :: getline ( std :: cin , input )) { if ( ! input . empty ()) { result = c . call ( "echo" , input ). as < string > (); std :: cout << result << std :: endl ; } } }
