qDecoder is a development kit for C/C++ network programming includes CGI/FastCGI supports. For the use of C/C++ CGI programming, the query-fetch algorithm based on the linked-list provides transparency with low layers by the simple library interface regardless of COOKIE/GET/POST(including File Upload). Thus, it enables the web based software to be more intuitively designed and implemented.
It is true that such recent languages as JSP, ASP, Perl, and PHP make the Web programming easier. These authoring languages make the database interoperability easier through simple codes. And they also provide rich libraries through CPAN. When things are like this, we sometimes ask ourselves if we really need to develop web application using the difficult and complicated C/C++ language.
Actually in many cases, we come to develop things using handy tools like PHP that guarantees speedy development. But when critical requirements are to be satisfied, many developers still want to select C/C++ which is the industry standard language.
The processing of critical regions like file-locking techniques, the processing of communications and piping between processes, the securing of performance for bottleneck looping codes, low-level control, and the manipulation of the character/bit units under a race condition occurring due to many simultaneous processing works can be good examples. Moreover, programs constructed by C/C++ can be easily transplanted on most platforms without much dependence.
What we make reluctant to pick up C/C++ will be fears of the possible development delay and the cumbersome implementation due to its unique fastidiousness. Language is a tool for creation. And a tool is created because it is needed. And now the tool is restricting creativity. What an embarrassing situation it is!
It was 1996 when I was using a few public C/C++ libraries including "util.c" of NCSA. I did not think any of them really satisfied me at that time. And I started to compose the initial code of qDecoder. Since the version of 6.0, qDecoder reached its majority and is capable of constructing most programs with the advantages of C/C++ and with the speed of PHP or Perl that are embodied in it (This is what I think about qDecoder, and from now on, I will try to perfect it).
Handy authoring tools will be continuously developed. But the proper territory of C/C++ will persist. That's the import of the existence, the continuous development and maintenance of qDecoder.
Now, we believe that we have fully explained that we are not a defender of C/C++ and have made clear the reason why C/C++ Web Application Interface such as qDecoder are needed inspite of such convenient tools as JSP. It will be our pleasure if qDecoder can help you when your development needs the characteristics of C/C++. And we will be satisfied if the lesson of free software is disseminated through qDecoder.
qDecoder is developed and tested under below platforms..
