C++ Boost Library

Sometimes, it would be handy to have more than what’s available in C++ and even more than what’s provided in the C++ STL.  This is where Boost steps in.  Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.  Why?  Because developers have needs that continue not to be met by the STL and the C++ core language.  The process of adding capabilities  to the C++ core language and the STL is slow but well thought out.  While developers wait for additional features in the core language and STL, Boost provides a lot of capability to fill the gap.

Here is a list of the additional capabilities Boost brings to the table.

We use Boost in our C++ projects that require it which isn’t always.  But, when we need it, we trust it.
