Audience level: [ Beginner ]

The C++ programming language has a vast ecosystem of open source libraries. However, many of these libraries are not well-known, and even experienced developers may be missing out on them. I will share six hidden gems of open source C++ libraries. These libraries cover a wide range of topics, including error handling, backwards compatibility, networking, and databases, and much more.I will discuss the features and benefits of each library, and I will show how they can be used to improve the development of C++ applications. I will also discuss some of the challenges of using open source libraries, and I will provide tips on how to find and use the right libraries for your project. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, you will learn about some great open source libraries that you may not have known about, and you could either use them or be inspired by them in the future.
