✨ Elegant, Express-Inspired API
#include <boson/boson.hpp>
int main() {
boson::initialize();
boson::Server app;
app.use([](const boson::Request& req, boson::Response& res, boson::NextFunction& next) {
std::cout << "[" << req.method() << "] " << req.path() << std::endl;
next();
});
app.get("/", [](const boson::Request& req, boson::Response& res) {
res.send("Hello, Boson!");
});
app.get("/api/data", [](const boson::Request& req, boson::Response& res) {
res.jsonObject({
{"message", "Welcome to Boson"},
{"version", "1.0"},
{"success", true},
{"data", {
{"users", 42},
{"active", true}
}}
});
});
app.get("/api/users/:id", [](const boson::Request& req, boson::Response& res) {
std::string id = req.param("id");
res.jsonObject({
{"id", id},
{"name", "User " + id},
{"email", "user" + id + "@example.com"}
});
});
app.configure(3000, "127.0.0.1");
return app.listen();
}
