The programming language C++ is commonly used for resource intensive tasks.
Simple-Web-Server is a library that can be utilized in C++ applications to

Simple-Web-Server can be helpful for any research software written in C++ that
needs to communicate with remote endpoints through HTTP or HTTPS.

standalone Asio. Another alternative is H2O [@h20] that supports several event
handling systems, however, Asio is not yet supported. Both Boost.Beast, and to a
lesser degree H2O, supports the WebSocket protocol [@websocket_protocol]. In the
