“Just” curl and openssl. Those are not small and do a ton of lifting… easily adds 2-3mb to a static binary.by bitbasher

Fair point. Should've titled it "minimal dependencies" perhapsSince C++ has no HTTP client in its std lib, I really had no other choice but to use curl. Same with OpenSSL. It'd be quite naïve of me to re-implement the whole HTTP stack and SHA256 from scratch =)

You may want to look into coroutines so that the data can be fetched asynchronously.by cherryteastain

Yep! I'd also like to explore C++26 reflection for the XML FSM parser I currently haveEverything so far is synchronous. In our toy benchmarks I've found out Go to be quite performant, perhaps it's using go-routines behind the scenes (?) Haven't explored their internals yet but I was surprised
