Description

This little boilerplate application compiles an HTTP server based on Drogon (https://github.com/an-tao/drogon). This server implements one single http endpoint:

• http://localhot:8090/api/v1/helloworld

System Requirements

• The gcc version is not less than 5.4.0;
• Use cmake as the build tool, and the cmake version should be not less than 3.5;

• jsoncpp, JSON's c++ library, the version should be no less than 1.7;
• libuuid, generating c library of uuid;
• zlib, used to support compressed transmission;
• OpenSSL, not mandatory, if the OpenSSL library is installed, drogon will support HTTPS as well, otherwise drogon only supports HTTP.
• c-ares, not mandatory, if the c-ares library is installed，drogon will be more efficient with DNS;
• libbrotli, not mandatory, if the libbrotli library is installed, drogon will support brotli compression when sending HTTP responses;
