How to use Redis within a C++ program?

Question

What would be the best way to use a Redis DB within a C++ program?

Answer 1

I have forked the fictorial redis-cplusplus-client, made it compatible to redis-server v2.0, added missing api calls and implemented consistent hashing. There is also an early state of high level classes that will be useable like stl types in the near future (shared_string, shared_int, shared_set, ...). Nothing is production ready yet but the provided tests are succesfully running :-)

Official list of C++ clients

Explore a full list of Redis C++ clients on redis.io. You will find there different clients based on boost, Qt, etc. Note that at this time none of the C++ client implementations are marked as "Recommended." But there is a recommended C client, hiredis, which should work just fine in C++.

I've just released my c++ redis client on github. It's main feature right now is pipelining, I'll be adding more features soon, possibly sharding/consistent hashing next.
