URI Query parsing library for C++

[Mayuresh <mayuresh%acm.org@localhost>]

For sake of learning and knowing the web application ecosystem for C++, I
am developing a small web application in C++.

As one of the ways, I am using fcgi library with lighttpd server.

First thing I stumble upon, quite surprisingly, is hard to find library
for parsing query string in a URI.

textproc/uriparser [1] has some APIs. But it is a C API. It would take
some wrapping around to make it usable easily in C++. (E.g. building a
key-value map by walking over the list at the cost of one additional walk)

There is boost::url. But just for a small requirement, don't feel like
adding devel/boost-headers in the stack.

Most forums seem to suggest, write a parser yourself. That's an option,
too. But in 2025 one would expect some de facto component for such a
generic requirement.

I came across this [2] and am about to create a wip package for it.

Just thought of checking here, if anyone has faced this situation and used
which library or own implementation.
