MGS
mgs is a C++14 codec library.
Its main design goals are:
- Ease of use: Regular usage must be a no-brainer.
- Extensibility: New codecs should be easy to add in future versions.
- API genericity: Emulating concepts to define generic APIs.
- Package manager friendliness: Modular architecture, each codec is a single entity.
mgs defines a common interface for all supported codecs, that is both generic and customizable:
#include <mgs/base64.hpp>
#include <array>
#include <forward_list>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace mgs;
int main() {
std::string const a = base64::encode("Hello, World!");
std::vector<unsigned char> const b = base64::decode(a);
// Default return types can be overriden
auto const c = base64::encode<std::forward_list<char>>(b);
auto const d = base64::decode<std::array<char, 13>>(c);
// Iterator ranges are supported
auto const e = base64::encode(d.begin(), d.end());
auto const f = base64::decode(e.begin(), e.end());
