awesome-hpp is a curated list of header-only C++ libraries.
The project addresses the practical challenge of discovering and evaluating header-only libraries in C++, which offer the advantage of simplified integration into projects without requiring separate compilation or linking steps. By organizing these libraries into a structured, curated collection, the project helps developers quickly identify suitable solutions across different domains and C++ standards, from C++98 through C++20 and beyond.
Developers should use this list when seeking libraries that can be integrated by simply including header files, eliminating build complexity for their projects. The collection spans multiple C++ standards and covers cross-platform libraries, making it useful for projects with varying compatibility requirements. This approach works best for smaller utility libraries, template-heavy code, and projects where build simplicity is valued over compilation speed.
The project maintains an active curation model, regularly evaluating and adding new libraries to the collection while removing entries that no longer meet quality standards or have become inactive. Contributions from the community are actively reviewed and integrated, indicating ongoing engagement with maintaining the list's relevance and accuracy.
