This is a sample application that shows how to use Streamdata.io in a C++ application. Streamdata.io relies on two standard technologies: EventSource (https://www.w3.org/TR/eventsource/), and json-patch (http://jsonpatch.com/). This C++ implementation uses ChilKat (https://www.chilkatsoft.com/default.asp) as a C++ EventSource implementation (https://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/vcCkServerSentEventRef.html), and JSON for Modern C++ (https://github.com/nlohmann/json) as a C++ json-patch implementation.
