Mach

A modern C++ web framework.

Mach is a fast, lightweight web framework for building HTTP APIs in modern C++. It provides routing, controllers, request binding, validation, middleware, security utilities, configuration, logging, and more through a clean, type-safe API.

Download and run the latest Mach .msi installer.

Mach v1.0 supports Windows with MSVC.

To build Mach applications, you will need:

• CMake
• MSVC C++ Build Tools
• Windows SDK

The Mach CLI also requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

Install the latest Mach .deb package:

sudo apt install ./mach-1.0.0-amd64.deb

Mach v1.0 supports Ubuntu with GCC.

To build Mach applications, install the required development tools:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential cmake

See the Installation Guide for detailed installation instructions.

Create a new Mach project:

mach new hello-mach
cd hello-mach

Build and run it:

mach run

A minimal Mach application looks like this:

#include <mach/mach.hpp>

int main() {
    mach::AppBuilder builder;
    auto app = builder.build();

    app.mapGet("/", [] {
        return mach::ok("Hello from Mach!");
    });

    return app.run();
}
