Boost.MySQL is a high-quality, production-ready C++11 client library for MySQL and MariaDB, built on top of Boost.Asio. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous database access with a modern, type-safe interface. The library features a sans-I/O architecture that separates protocol logic from transport, enabling testability and flexibility. Key capabilities include connection pooling with automatic health checks, client-side SQL formatting to prevent injection, prepared statements, pipeline batching, and a static interface using Boost.Describe or Boost.Pfr for compile-time row mapping. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices: extensive unit and integration tests, fuzzing, thread-safety verification, and benchmarks against native MySQL clients. It is an official Boost library, actively maintained with a large community.
