The C++ REST SDK-based REST server
Note
In this section, we have leveraged code from Marius Bancila's excellent article about the C++ REST SDK. In fact, the key/value database code is borrowed from his implementation. The authors are thankful to him for the excellent article, available at https://mariusbancila.ro/blog/2017/11/19/revisited-full-fledged-client-server-example-with-c-rest-sdk-2-10/.
Let's write a micro-service application that puts everything together we have learned so far in the context of Microsoft C++ REST SDK. We will consume REST services by leveraging the RxCurl library written by Kirk Shoop, as part of his Twitter analysis application. We have added support to the DELETE and PUT verbs, as the original implementation contained only support for GET and POST verbs. The REST service implemented here supports the following verbs:
