Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
|
|
|
|
Boost emphasizes libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
|
|
Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a
|
|
broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both
|
|
commercial and non-commercial use.
|
|
|
|
Boost aims to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
|
|
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
|
|
standardization. Ten Boost libraries are included in the C++ Standards
|
|
Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and in the new C++11
|
|
Standard. C++11 also includes several more Boost libraries in addition
|
|
to those from TR1. More Boost libraries are proposed for standardization
|
|
in C++17.
