Library for encoding and decoding using the Bencode protocol written in C++. Primarily used by BitTorrent protocol for encoding and decoding of data exchanged between a peer and the tracker.

• Parses bencode strings to C++ classes
• Support for input and output streams
• Provides a safe api with error support

I will assume you're using CMake

1. Clone/download this repository into your own project folder
2. Set CMake variable pointing to the include directory

set(BENCODE_INCLUDE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/libs/bencode/include)

3. Add bencode as a subdirectory to your project

add_subdirectory(libs/bencode)

4. Link the include directories to a target

target_include_directors(MyProj PUBLIC ${BENCODE_INCLUDE_DIR})

5. Link the bencode library

target_link_libraries(MyProj bencode)

#include <bencode/bencode.h>

stringstream test("d3:cowi7856e4:spam4:eggse");
	
auto i = decode<bencode::bdata>(test);
cout << encode(i.value()) << endl;
