Do we have any updated on this?

[bmunkholm]

@aksswami No further plans so far. We would likely need a bigger interest or commercial interest to expose and support a C++ API.

[aksswami]

@bmunkholm Thanks for quick response. I was really looking forward to this. As C++ APIs would be really useful, if someone trying to create a single C++ SDK for both mobile platform.

[bmunkholm]

@aksswami Absolutely - there is no question about the usefulness, just about how many would appreciate the work :-)

upvote for C++ SDK

Very much needed C++ Realm API

[bithavoc]

Imagine using Realm in a QT Application.

Are there any updates on this? I tried answering this question for myself by looking for a roadmap but I couldn't find one.

[finnschiermer]

We'd love to do it, but currently can't prioritize it.

This would be amazing. I've been waiting on support for Go for a long time, given how much more performant Go is compared to Node.js, specifically for backend work.

[nirinchev]

We do have .NET API if you don't like node.js 😜

[Dids]

@nirinchev But .NET has that SSL issue on linux. 😉

[nirinchev]

This issue tracks exposing just the client API that you can find in the "Realm" nuget package. It doesn't have SSL issues - those only affect the Realm.Server package whose functionality is out of scope for the Core repo.

Need API on C++ too

[jkoutavas]

A C++ interface would be GREAT for embedding into a cross-platform (mobile, desktop) SDK.

The common denominator for native code, even in 2021, is C/C++.

[chrisk414]

I desperately need c++ interface to make it work for UnrealEngine. Is there any progress on this? There is no question that it's is very useful and there are enough interests. Thanks.

We don’t have plans for a C++ SDK, or otherwise supporting a C++ API for public consumption from the Core database. We’re focused on supporting the Realm SDKs for higher level languages.
