history
Project history and usage
The POCO C++ Libraries are modular, cross-platform class libraries for building network-centric and internet applications on systems ranging from embedded devices to servers.
Project history
Günter Obiltschnig started the project in 2004 as C++ POrtable COmponents, seeking a comprehensive portable library layer for networking, XML, databases, and other common application needs. The first public release followed in February 2005, and Aleksandar Fabijanic subsequently joined as a contributor and co-lead.
The project expanded into a broad family of libraries covering foundation types, networking, HTTP, XML, JSON, database access, cryptography, archives, Redis, MongoDB, logging, and application configuration. It uses the permissive Boost Software License.
Adoption history
POCO has been adopted in desktop, server, mobile, IoT, and embedded software. Upstream reports use across industrial automation, network analytics, automotive, enterprise infrastructure, finance, and healthcare, with distribution through operating-system packages and C++ package managers such as Conan and vcpkg.
How it is used
C++ developers link the POCO components needed by their application for tasks such as sockets and HTTP, files and streams, XML and JSON processing, database access, cryptography, logging, and application configuration. Upstream supports CMake as the primary build system and documents installation through source builds, Conan, vcpkg, and system packages.
Why package nerds care
POCO offers a cohesive, cross-platform library family rather than requiring developers to assemble unrelated components for networking, configuration, structured data, databases, and system services. Its modular libraries, permissive license, limited mandatory dependencies, and support for conventional CMake and GNU Make workflows make it practical for both distributions and embedded builds.
Timeline
- 2004: Günter Obiltschnig started the C++ POrtable COmponents project.
- 2005: The first public release appeared in February.
- 2006: The project adopted the Boost Software License.
- Later development: Networking, data access, JSON, database, cryptography, and embedded-platform capabilities expanded the library family.
