C++ library with a Java-like API

api, c++, java

Solution

Qt is IMHO very java like. I.e. they prefer Java-Style Iterators over the STL ones. Qt includes networking (examples) and much other stuff (like scripting via javascript)

Problem

Hoping that anybody here knows about a good one: I'm looking for a (free to use) C++ library with a class hierarchy and methods resembling the Java API, with at least the I/O & networking part if it, specifically HTTP handling. I work mainly with C & Java, but for this particular project C++ is recommended, so I thought of adopting a good set of C++ libraries without facing a steep learning curve. Thanks in advance for any recommendation.
