C++ is a popular programming language in the world of software development. With so many libraries available, developers can spend less time creating scientific and complex applications. The Boost library is one of the most well-known in the C++ community. Because the Boost community is constantly researching and developing new features, the Boost library is updated every 3-5 months.
The Boost library simplifies C++ development in a variety of ways. The Boost library is portable, open-source, free, and active. The Boost library encourages C++ code that is efficient and readable. Because several Standards Committee members are also among the most active members of the Boost community, there are many correct and useful techniques for dealing with advanced problems.
Here are some of the tools of the Boost library:
- Smart Ptr, Pool
- Utility, Log, UUID
- Thread, Date-Time, Filesystem, Asio
- Algorithms
- Wide range of special Data Structures
- and more
I have seen that competitive programmers love the ideas built in the Boost library and apply the Boost library features when solving problems.
