Introduction
The C++ Micro Services project is a collection of components for building
modular and dynamic service-oriented applications. It is based on
OSGi <http://osgi.org>
_, but tailored to support native cross-platform solutions.
Proper usage of C++ Micro Services patterns and concepts leads to systems with one or more of the following properties:
- Re-use of software components
- Loose coupling between service providers and consumers
- Separation of concerns, based on a service-oriented design
- Clean APIs based on service interfaces
- Extensible and reconfigurable systems
Requirements
None, except a recent enough C++ compiler. All third-party library dependencies are included and mostly used for implementation details.
Supported Platforms
The library makes use of C++14 language and library features and compiles on many different platforms.
Recommended minimum required compiler versions:
- GCC 5.4
- Clang 3.5
- Clang from Xcode 8.0
- Visual Studio 2015
You may use older compilers, but certain functionality may not be available. Check the warnings printed during configuration of your build tree. The following are the absolute minimum requirements:
- GCC 5.1
- Clang 3.5
- Clang from Xcode 7.3
- Visual Studio 2015 (MSVC++ 14.0)
Recommended minimum required CMake version:
- CMake 3.12.4
Below is a list of tested compiler/OS combinations:
- GCC 5.4 (Ubuntu 14.04) via Travis CI
- GCC 8.0 (Ubuntu 14.04) via Travis CI
- Clang 3.5 (Ubuntu 14.04) via Travis CI
- Clang 6.0 (Ubuntu 14.04) via Travis CI
- Clang Xcode 7.3 (OS X 10.11) via Travis CI
- Clang Xcode 10.3 (OS X 10.14) via Travis CI
- Visual Studio 2015 via Appveyor
- Visual Studio 2017 via Appveyor
- Visual Studio 2019 via Appveyor
- MinGW-w64 via Appveyor

Code of Conduct
CppMicroServices.org welcomes developers with different backgrounds and a broad range of experience. A diverse and inclusive community will create more great ideas, provide more unique perspectives, and produce more outstanding code. Our aim is to make the CppMicroServices community welcoming to everyone.
To provide clarity of what is expected of our members, CppMicroServices
has adopted the code of conduct defined by
contributor-covenant.org <http://contributor-covenant.org>
_. This
document is used across many open source communities, and we believe it
articulates our values well.
Please refer to the :any:Code of Conduct <code-of-conduct>

details.
Quick Start
Start by cloning the project repository. It is important to note that since
the project utilizes git submodules, you must clone the repository with the
--recursive
flag. This will also clone the submodules and place them in
their respective directories. For further reading about how git submodules
work and how to clone them into an already existing repository on your disk,
please see Git's documentation <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules>
_.
Essentially, the C++ Micro Services library provides you with a powerful
dynamic service registry on top of a managed lifecycle. The framework manages,
among other things, logical units of modularity called bundles that
are contained in shared or static libraries. Each bundle
within a library has an associated :any:cppmicroservices::BundleContext
object, through which the service registry is accessed.
To query the registry for a service object implementing one or more specific interfaces, the code would look like this:
.. code:: cpp
#include "cppmicroservices/BundleContext.h"
#include "SomeInterface.h"
using namespace cppmicroservices;
void UseService(BundleContext context)
{
auto serviceRef = context.GetServiceReference<SomeInterface>();
if (serviceRef)
{
auto service = context.GetService(serviceRef);
if (service) { /* do something */ }
}
}
Registering a service object against a certain interface looks like this:
.. code:: cpp
#include "cppmicroservices/BundleContext.h"
#include "SomeInterface.h"
using namespace cppmicroservices;
void RegisterSomeService(BundleContext context, const std::shared_ptr<SomeInterface>& service)
{
context.RegisterService<SomeInterface>(service);
}
The OSGi service model additionally allows to annotate services with
properties and using these properties during service look-ups. It also
allows to track the life-cycle of service objects. Please see the
Documentation <http://docs.cppmicroservices.org>
_
for more examples and tutorials and the API reference. There is also a
blog post about OSGi Lite for C++ <http://blog.cppmicroservices.org/2012/04/15/osgi-lite-for-c++>

Git Branch Conventions
The Git repository contains two eternal branches,
master <https://github.com/CppMicroServices/CppMicroServices/tree/master/>
_
and
development <https://github.com/CppMicroServices/CppMicroServices/tree/development/>
_.
The master branch contains production quality code and its HEAD points
to the latest released version. The development branch is the default
branch and contains the current state of development. Pull requests by
default target the development branch. See the :ref:CONTRIBUTING <contributing>
file for details about the contribution process.
