The ffead-cpp Framework

ffead-cpp is a web-framework, application framework, utilities all bundled into one. It also provides an embedded HTTP/Web-Socket compliant high-performance server core. It is a collection of modules all geared towards performing individual roles which together form the cohesive back-bone of ffead-cpp.

It provides a very simple to use and maintain web-framework library with advanced features like Reflection, Dependency Injection (IOC), Inbuilt REST/SOAP support, Security/Authentication features. Moreover implementation for interfacing to caching tools like Memcached/Redis are provided in-built. Database integration/ORM framework (SDORM) solves all major issues with respect to interfacing with SQL/No-SQL database alike.

Multi-level serialization or template level serialization is a high point of ffead-cpp core serialization run-time. Any C++ POCO class can be marked as serializable and the run-time will take care of marshalling/un-marshalling the object to its intended serializable form and back(JSON/XML/BINARY).

ffead-cpp can be easily driven by XML configuration, Services/Controllers/Filters/Interfaces/API(s) are all simple POCO classes without any need for them to extend any classes. The differentiating feature in ffead-cpp is the usage/implementation/support for markers (Annotations in java). Simple #pragma directives can now be used to drive the entire configuration in ffead-cpp, so you can just forget XML configuration.

All in all ffead-cpp is the gap in the world of C++ web application or enterprise application development which I have tried to fill with my humble/honest effort.

Starting version 4.0 ffead-cpp only cmake builds are supported

Quickstart (Using cmake)

  • Install cmake >= 3.8.2 and prerequisites
  • cmake -DSRV_EMB=on -DMOD_SDORM_MONGO=on .
  • make install -j4 (Build ffead-cpp along-with the sample applications in web + generate ffead-cpp binary)
  • Sip some coffee
  • cd ffead-cpp-4.0-bin/ (Navigate to the ffead-cpp binary folder)
  • chmod +x *.sh
  • ./server.sh (Startup ffead-cpp Njoy!!)

Webrtc Example (Uses peerjs)
