Notes about C++ REST service setup search

CPPRestNotes.txt

Started by searching for how to create REST service with Apache
Lots of Tomcat/Jersey results
Focussed on C++, try to avoid complex framework
Hit on the idea of embedded HTTP server
Mongoose (https://www.cesanta.com/products/mongoose) looks promising

Also, this page (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/links/libs) has a bunch of REST-related libraries in the communication section

This StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25057819/how-to-create-restful-web-services-using-c-language-and-json-parser),
which also pointed me at Mongoose, also has some other suggestions I should investigate
RESTBed
Casablanca
RestfulMapper
SimpleREST

Apache Axis is another alternative

After doing some quick searching and reading, 
Axis seems overly complex for my needs
  requires Apache
  setup seems clunky
Casablanca
  seems popular
  cross platform
  is on github
  setup seems straightforward (on Ubuntu at least), also seems to have Debian package
  open source
  listener is 'experimental'; seems focussed on client-side
Mongoose
  Seems really simple to get started
  is on github
  open source/commercial dual license
  doesn`t seem to have a package, but maybe one is not needed
