Add a C++ client library

Problem

C++ is a popular language, by some measures top 10: https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2020/02/28/language-rankings-1-20/

Solution

It'd be nice to have a C++ client library.

Alternatives/workarounds

Using an API library like https://github.com/jgaa/restc-cpp against the FusionAuth API: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/

Any update on this? Could really use a good C++ library for this.

I see, sadly not very confident in my ability to do this, so I'll just continue waiting until a C++ library comes out. That way I can stop using Auth.gg.

At this time you should use the OpenAPI spec and tooling to generate a C++ SDK.
