SDL_net as core library for network applications?

Question

C++ / C#

The question is: is it worth using the SDL_net library to create non-gaming network applications? I liked the provision of simple functions for working with the network. There are bikes based on low-level sockets, but I would like to use a ready-made solution that has been tested by time, and of course, cross-platform should be at the forefront.

Answer 1

Depends on many factors. Cross-platform curl is time-tested and more than good. sockets, as far as I know, are also portable because they are BSD sockets.
