Hermes is a lightweight, cross-platform, asynchronous, C++11 network library. Hermes provides an user-friendly API with which you can easily create a server or client following either the TCP or UDP protocol. Hermes is based on a polling model using a thread pool to handle events asynchronously between the server and the clients.
To use Hermes, you just need to include the Hermes.hpp header in your code.
- Compiling using g++:

g++ -std=c++11 your_file.cpp -pthread -o binary_name
