Overview | POCO C++ Libraries

Modern, powerful open source C++ class libraries and frameworks for building network- and internet-based applications that run on desktop, server and embedded systems.

Who Is Using It?	Companies like 454 Life Sciences, Appcelerator, CACE Technologies, CodeLathe, Schneider Electric and Voltwerk Electronics; open source projects like GLUEscript, MITK, openFrameworks, Open Game Engine and Ogre.
What Are Developers Saying About It?	"We have been using the POCO toolkit in our latest generation high speed genome sequencer. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the work you've been doing. Thank you for giving me my weekends back!" Jesse Keller, 454 Life Sciences "We're using POCO in a product we're developing, and we're extremely pleased with it. It's one of the richest and best written libraries that I've encountered, and its portability saved us a ton of work." Loris Degioanni, CACE Technologies "If you work in C++ and didn't hear about POCO, you are missing out on one of the most outstanding and important C++ libraries in years." Eran Hammer-Lahav "The richness of the content, the clarity of the code, and the quality of the documentation prompted us to use POCO as one of our foundational 3rd-party libraries." Sorin Voicu-Comendant, T-System "I just wanted to say that I am hugely impressed by the breadth of functionality offered by POCO and the overall excellent quality of the implementation code, samples, and documentation. It has been a real pleasure developing my application." Caleb Epstein "This library is quite refreshing and a joy to use. Laid out very well, the documentation is consistent as the code base and functional in all the ways that C++ traditionally lacks. Many thanks go out to all the contributors of this library." Chris Johnson "C++ now has batteries included." Jeremy Sandell
Who Is Behind It?	The POCO C++ Libraries were created by Günter Obiltschnig in 2004 and have since been extended by enthusiastic C++ developers from all over the world. Funding is provided by Applied Informatics and sponsors.
