smart_conditions is a C++11 library that lets you refactor repetitive and potentially unreadable/error-prone boolean conditions into something more readable and maintainable.
When parsing JSON messages, most C/C++ libraries employ a DOM-based approach, i.e. they work by building an in-memory representation of object, and the client can then create/read/update/delete the properties of the object as needed, and most importantly access them in whatever order. While this is very convenient and provides maximum flexibility, there are situations in which memory allocations must or should preferably be avoided. minijson_reader is a callback-based parser, which can effective
FrostWire is a media manager and fast BitTorrent file sharing client.
