A self-contained C++ library for the Daybreak Game Company Census API.

• REST and WebSocket clients for the Daybreak Game Company Census API
• Uses IXWebSocket for HTTP, with optional OpenSSL support
• All requests are synchronous, choose your own poison (std::thread, std::async, QThread, etc.)
• *No JSON parsing, bring your own (nlohmann/json, rapidjson, QJsonDocument etc.)

*The dependency on nlohmann/json is only used for tests and examples, the library output is std::string-based.

• C++ 20
• IXWebSocket: https://github.com/machinezone/IXWebSocket
• OpenSSL (optional): https://github.com/openssl/openssl
• gtest (optional, for tests): https://github.com/google/googletest

IXWebSocket is currently always brought in via FetchContent, everything else is provided through vcpkg. Note that vcpkg is entirely optional, this project just calls CMake's ´find_package()` to locate its dependencies.

This project uses CMake and can be consumed via find_package() after installation. When including in another project via FetchContent, it is recommended to set DbgCensus_INSTALL=OFF to avoid reinstalling its headers into its install tree.

mkdir build/
cmake -S . -B build/ -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build/

# Optionally install
cmake --build build/ --target install

This project uses Google Test driven by CMake's CTest. Tests can be run with the following command:

# After building
cd build/
ctest . -C Release # replace with the desired configuration
