* support for accessing rest services from native code on linux, windows
vista, windows 7, and windows 8 by providing asynchronous c++ bindings
to http, json, and uris
* implementation of asynchronous streams and stream buffers
* a consistent and powerful model for composing asynchronous operations based
on c++ 11 features
* a set of samples and reference documentation
