The GitHub tags page shows release tags from 0.7.1 in 2007 through 0.8.1 in 2017. ### Adoption history cURLpp's adoption is mostly as a development library package, especially where C++ applications prefer packaged headers and a small wrapper library over hand-written libcurl handle management. The supplied package-manager facts show it available in Homebrew, Debian and Ubuntu as libcurlpp-dev, Fedora, and Nix. ### How it is used Developers use cURLpp when they want libcurl capabilities through C++ standard library structures, exceptions, and type-safe options. The official documentation points users to a programming guide and examples directory, while also warning that direct libcurl is sufficient when the wrapper's features are not needed. ### Why package nerds care cURLpp is package-nerd significant as a thin binding package: it tracks libcurl compatibility, ships headers and build metadata such as curlpp-config, and sits in the common distro category of language-level wrappers around a core C networking library. ### Timeline - 2007: GitHub tags show v0.7.1. - 2008: GitHub tags show v0.7.2. - 2009: GitHub tags show v0.7.3. - 2017: GitHub tags show v0.8.1. ### Related projects - libcurl is the underlying library; curl and other libcurl language bindings are the closest ecosystem neighbors. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** curlpp - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 2 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - libcurlpp-dev - 0.8.1-6: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libcurlpp-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | c++ wrapper for libcurl (development files) | https://www.curlpp.org/ - Debian apt - libcurlpp0t64 - 0.8.1-6: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libcurlpp0t64 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | c++ wrapper for libcurl | https://www.curlpp.org/ - Nix - curlpp: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/cu/curlpp/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - libcurlpp-dev - 0.8.1-5.3build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libcurlpp-dev from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | c++ wrapper for libcurl (development files) | http://www.curlpp.org/ - Ubuntu apt - libcurlpp0t64 - 0.8.1-5.3build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libcurlpp0t64 from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | c++ wrapper for libcurl | http://www.curlpp.org/ - dnf - curlpp - 0.8.1-33.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: curlpp from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | A C++ wrapper for libcURL | http://curlpp.org/ - dnf - curlpp-devel - 0.8.1-33.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: curlpp-devel from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Development files for curlpp | http://curlpp.org/ ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ada-url](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ada-url/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools, libraries, library. - [cgal](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cgal/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools, libraries, library. - [activemq-cpp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/activemq-cpp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools, libraries. - [ctemplate](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ctemplate/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, libraries, library. - [etl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/etl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools, libraries. - [flickcurl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/flickcurl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, libraries, library. - [fonttools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fonttools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, libraries, library. - [glib](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/glib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, libraries, library. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
