This cross-platform library provides essential tools like logging, unit testing, and configuration parsing, all packed into a lightweight package that makes C++ programming straightforward and enjoyable.

Coost: A Minimalist Swiss Army Knife for C++

Coost is a versatile, cross-platform foundation library designed for C++ development, combining exceptional performance with user-friendly features. It aims to simplify C++ programming, making it not only efficient but also an enjoyable experience.

Described as a Swiss Army knife for C++, coost packs a wealth of functionality into a compact package. With a static library size of approximately 1 MB on Linux and macOS, it includes numerous powerful components such as:

Command-Line and Config-File Parser: Efficiently handles command-line arguments and configuration files through its flag component.
Log Library: High-performance logging via the log library, known for its speed and the capability to print stack traces during program crashes.
```
#include "co/log.h"
log::debug("hello ", 23);  // debug
```

Unit Testing Framework: Ensures stability in development with a straightforward unit testing framework, unitest.

#include "co/unitest.h"
DEF_test(os) {
    DEF_case(homedir) {
        EXPECT_NE(os::homedir(), "");
    }
}

JSON Handling: Streamlined JSON operations utilizing a fluent interface in its json component, making it simple to build and parse JSON structures.
```
json::any x = {
    {"a", 23},
    {"b", false},
};
```
Coroutine Support: Integrates Go-style coroutines, providing features like multi-threaded scheduling and shared stacks for efficient memory usage.
```
go([wg](){ co::println("hello world"); wg.done(); });
```
Coroutines in Network Programming: Offers a coroutine-based framework for network programming, enabling high-performance socket operations and simplified interface for TCP and RPC functionalities.

Documentation is available in multiple languages, including English and Simplified Chinese, to ensure accessibility for a diverse user base. For more details about installation and usage, users are encouraged to visit the documentation.
