The C++ REST SDK-based REST server

Note

In this section, we have leveraged code from Marius Bancila's excellent article about the C++ REST SDK. In fact, the key/value database code is borrowed from his implementation. The authors are thankful to him for the excellent article, available at https://mariusbancila.ro/blog/2017/11/19/revisited-full-fledged-client-server-example-with-c-rest-sdk-2-10/.
