Crow server to receive HTTP (POST, GET) and return JSON?
Hello,
I am a bit new to IPKN/CROW but it seems to be extremely fast and efficient.
What I would like to do with it is to be able send it, in a multi-thread serve)
curl "http://localhost:8888/?q=solar%20panels&categories=general&format=json&lang=en&pageno=1"
Break the query a part into c++ user variables:
q=solar%20panels categories=general format=json lang=en pageno=1
and then be able to perhaps use an additional framework to structure a JSON output to return.
Crow seems to be very fast from my initial tests and the json input works great, but I would like to see if it is still possible to use this framework as reading through the github issues suggests that it "might" be possible, but I not sure how to move forward and cannot locate any type of related examples.
Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks
It looks like you can access URL params with something like this:
CROW_ROUTE(app, "/request") ([](const crow::request& req){ auto q = req.url_params.get("q"); // GET PARAMETERS return crow::response{os.str()}; // RETURN JSON AS IN EXAMPLES });
Example is based on source code, I didn't test it ;) Hope it helps.
