* Package name    : drogon
  Version         : 1.8.4
  Upstream Author : An Tao <antao2002@gmail.com>

* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : C++14/17-based HTTP application framework

Drogon can be used to easily build various types of web application server
programs using C++. Drogon is the name of a dragon in the American TV series
"Game of Thrones" that I really like.

Drogon is a cross-platform framework, It supports Linux, macOS, FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, HaikuOS, and Windows. Its main features are as follows:

  * Use a non-blocking I/O network lib based on epoll (kqueue under
    macOS/FreeBSD) to provide high-concurrency, high-performance network
    IO, please visit the TFB Tests Results for more details;
  * Provide a completely asynchronous programming mode;
  * Support Http1.0/1.1 (server side and client side);
  * Based on template, a simple reflection mechanism is implemented to
    completely decouple the main program framework, controllers and
    views.
  * Support cookies and built-in sessions;
  * Support back-end rendering, the controller generates the data to the view
    to generate the Html page. Views are described by CSP template files, C++ codes
    are embedded into Html pages through CSP tags. And the drogon command-line tool
    automatically generates the C++ code files for compilation;
  * Support view page dynamic loading (dynamic compilation and loading at runtime);
  * Provide a convenient and flexible routing solution from the path to the
    controller handler;
  * Support filter chains to facilitate the execution of unified logic (such as
    login verification, Http Method constraint verification, etc.) before handling
    HTTP requests;
  * Support https (based on OpenSSL);
  * Support WebSocket (server side and client side);
  * Support JSON format request and response, very friendly to the Restful API
    application development;
  * Support file download and upload;
  * Support gzip, brotli compression transmission;
  * Support pipelining;
  * Provide a lightweight command line tool, drogon_ctl, to simplify the
    creation of various classes in Drogon and the generation of view code;
  * Support non-blocking I/O based asynchronously reading and writing database
    PostgreSQL and MySQL(MariaDB) database);
  * Support asynchronously reading and writing sqlite3 database based on thread
    pool;
  * Support Redis with asynchronous reading and writing;
  * Support ARM Architecture;
  * Provide a convenient lightweight ORM implementation that supports for
    regular object-to-database bidirectional mapping;
  * Support plugins which can be installed by the configuration file at load
    time;
  * Support AOP with build-in joinpoints.
  * Support C++ coroutines

This package is needed by weakforced, which I also intend to package.

For now these packages will be in collab-maint, but I'll see if they
could go somewhere. I'm maintaining them as part of my work at
Gandi.net. This is therefore a Gandi.net contribution to the Debian
Project.
