Re:The first web framework and ORM for C++

This framework does that in an easy way. You don't have to type any code to do REST serialization. Just feed the C++ objects to the response and the engine serializes then.
And with an ORM, database access is plain easy. Of course you can always get an handle to the database and execute manual queries.
It has an internal web server and you can easily deploy a shared library to Apache 2.
The one place that I could imagine it being useful is in binding existing C++ code to a web service. In our case, were there a lightweight wrapper for providing a REST API including HTTP server, I might consider that over our current setup of binding to the engine from another language.
