core is a minimal example showcasing how to build and run a C++ web application using the Vix.cpp framework. It demonstrates a clean, cross-platform setup with CMakePresets.json and an optional Makefile for quick builds.

• Simple HTTP server powered by Vix::App
• Cross-platform build system (Linux / macOS / Windows)
• Modern C++20 codebase
• Configurable via CMake presets (dev-ninja, dev-msvc)
• Optional sanitizers for debug builds
• Integrated logging (via Vix logger)

• CMake ≥ 3.20
• C++20 compiler
  • Linux/macOS: Clang ≥ 15 or GCC ≥ 11
  • Windows: Visual Studio 2022 (MSVC 19.3+)
• Ninja (optional, for fast builds)
• Vix.cpp installed under /usr/local or built locally

vix build      # Build the project
vix run        # Run the project

cmake --preset dev-ninja
cmake --build --preset dev-ninja

cmake --preset dev-msvc
cmake --build --preset dev-msvc

The run target is already defined in the CMake file — it will execute the compiled binary automatically.

When built successfully, you’ll see logs like:

[2025-10-12 13:41:23.220] [vixLogger] [info] Using configuration file: /home/user/vixcpp/vix/config/config.json

Vix.cpp is a high-performance, modular C++ web framework inspired by FastAPI, Express.js, and Vue.js.

It offers:

• Extreme performance (40k+ requests/sec)
• Clean syntax (App app; app.get("/", ...);)
• Modular architecture (core, orm, cli, json, utils, etc.)
• Simple CMake integration for external apps
