Wayward Support API

Wayward Support is a collection of classes and functions designed to work in addition to the C++ Standard Library.

Some classes in Wayward Support are simpler implementations of equivalents in Boost without as much template cruft, while implement concepts that are unique to Wayward.

Classes

• Any — Hold any value.
• CommandLineOptions — Simple command line option parser.
• Either — Hold one of a predefined set of value types (tagged union).
• Error — Base class for all exceptions that captures a stack trace.
• Fiber — Coroutine implementation for cooperative multitasking.
• Logger — Logging interface.
• Maybe — Option type, equivalent to boost::optional with some monadic extensions.
• Result — Either a value or an Error.
• URI — Structured representation of a Uniform Resource Identifier.

Libraries

• Data Franca library — Data observation library. Provides unified access to any data type that implements an adapter, allowing users to query arbitrary data structures. The main use is to provide a way for templating languages to access structured data at runtime.
• DateTime library — The DateTime library provides an intuitive interface to POSIX date/time functions.
• Format library — String formatting and interpolation library.
• HTTP library — Evented HTTP Server and Client classes.
• JSON library — Convert arbitrary data structures (via reflection or Data Franca) to and from JSON.
• Monads — Common "monadic" idioms that can make some code patterns safer and easier to use.
• Reflection library — Runtime type reflection library.
• Static Metaprogramming library — Compile-time type reflection library (various extensions to the standard <type_traits>).
• String utilities — Commonly used string functions missing from the C++ Standard Library.
