What we're building

We fund and maintain critical open-source C++ infrastructure used by developers worldwide.

Foundational Project

Boost C++ Libraries

Boost C++ Libraries

The world's most respected collection of peer-reviewed C++ libraries — 165+ libraries covering everything from algorithms to networking. We fund engineers who maintain and extend Boost, keeping it aligned with the modern C++ standard. Boost 1.89 shipped in August 2025.

WG21

WG21

WG21.org is a volunteer effort to make information from WG21, the ISO working group responsible for the C++ Programming Language standard (ISO/IEC 14882), easily accessible to the public.

Mr Docs

MrDocs

A C++ documentation generator built on Clang that parses source with full language fidelity — templates, constraints, overloads, and Niebloids all included. Produces accurate API reference documentation that never drifts from the real code.

Boost C++ Libraries

Compiler Research

A research and internship program in partnership with Princeton University and CERN, focused on advancing Clang and LLVM. Alliance fellows work on upstream compiler contributions, compilation performance, and language interoperability for scientific computing.

Featured projects

Library

Boost.URL

Complete URL parsing and manipulation — audited, constexpr-capable, and production-ready.

Library

Boost.Beast

HTTP and WebSocket library built on Boost.Asio, widely used in production networking applications.

Library

Boost.JSON

Fast, standards-compliant JSON with a clean modern C++ API. Incremental parsing and serialization.

Library

Boost.Redis

Async Redis client on Boost.Asio, supporting RESP3, pipelining, and cancellation.

Tooling

Clang C++20 Modules

Alliance engineers actively contribute to C++20 modules support in the Clang compiler toolchain.

Standards

Language Proposals

Alliance contributors author and shepherd proposals through the ISO/IEC C++ standardization process.

Empowering C++ — funding libraries, building community, shaping the future of the language.
