What are Poco libraries and how can I use them?

Poco libraries are a collection of C++ libraries designed for building network-centric applications. They provide components for networking, data access, and more.

Can you give me an example of how to use Poco for HTTP requests?

Sure! You can use the Poco::Net library to make HTTP requests. Here's a simple example:

#include <Poco/Net/HTTPClientSession.h>
#include <Poco/Net/HTTPRequest.h>
#include <Poco/Net/HTTPResponse.h>
#include <Poco/Stream.h>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    Poco::Net::HTTPClientSession session("www.example.com");
    Poco::Net::HTTPRequest request(Poco::Net::HTTPRequest::HTTP_GET, "/");
    Poco::Net::HTTPResponse response;
    session.sendRequest(request);
    std::istream &rs = session.receiveResponse(response);
    std::cout << response.getStatus() << " " << response.getReason() << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

This code sends a GET request to www.example.com.

What are the main features of Poco libraries?

Poco libraries offer features like networking, data access, multithreading, and JSON/XML parsing, making it versatile for various applications.

Where can I find the official documentation for Poco libraries?

You can find the official documentation for Poco libraries on their website at https://pocoproject.org/docs.
