  Description     : elegant C++ REST framework

Pistache is a C++ REST framework originally written by Mathieu Stefani at
Datacratic, since maintained by other volunteers. It is written in pure C++11
with no external dependency and provides a low-level HTTP abstraction. Pistache
provides both an HTTP client and server that can be used to create and query
complex web and REST APIs.

It is free as in freedom and released under the Apache 2.0 license.

It should build the following packages:

    libpistache0 - runtime library
    libpistache-dev - C++ development headers

Upstream has already provided partial Debianization for user convenience via a
stable and unstable PPA, but we are not DPM subject matter experts and would
like to see the project enter the official Debian repositories so everyone can
use it.

Our current users increase daily and vary from hobbyist router firmware hackers
to large fintech firms and the commercial music space.
