Possible Duplicate: Boost Library Often when I was trying (and failing) a C++ project I run into Boost when browsing the web. I tried reading the Boost website, but there was no good short description why to use Boost and what it exactly is. One of the things that I like a lot about Python is that everything is built-in and cross-platform, web requests, email, XML, JSON, etc. Is this also the case with Boost? So, enough rant, my concrete answer-able questions: What exactly is Boost? What are the most import reasons to use Boost? Is it fully cross-platform? Is it more "safe" then regular home-brew code where you quickly overlook that one buffer overflow, etc? Is there any link to a page describing all the modules of Boost in one or two sentences?
