Introduction

Boost provides a large variety of useful and portable C++ libraries. The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. The libraries are intended to be widely useful, and are in regular use by thousands of programmers across a broad spectrum of applications. Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries will be included in the C++ Standards Committee's upcoming C++ Standard Library Technical Report as a step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More information is present at the Boost Web Site.

The SEAL utility table shows the recommended Boost utility libraries.

Documentation

Boost provided an extensive online documentation for all the libraries, completed with examples, for the current release. Libraries are listed alphabetically or by category.

Support
