Description
This is where I'm going to start tracking features for 5.0, the next major version of cppgraphqlgen. This will be a breaking change for existing consumers, so it's an opportunity to cleanup deprecated methods and simplify some of the APIs. I'm also going to adopt a few more C++20 and C++23 features if they are well enough supported on Windows, Linux, and macOS now.
This is using #172, the tracking issue for cppgraphqlgen 4.0, as a template and starting point.
- Stand up a branch for 5.0 and start making PRs against that: https://github.com/microsoft/cppgraphqlgen/tree/next.
- C++20: Modules.
- C++20: Ranges: Should modernize a lot of begin/end iterator usage.
- C++20:
std::fmtinstead ofstd::ostringstream. - C++20: Co-routines/Awaitable interoperability: See #271, this may require a breaking change to the
cppgraphqlgenAwaitabletypes. - Sharing input/scalar/enum types between
clientgenandschemagen: See #264 for more discussion. - Build some alternate implementations of
JSONResponse.*with other JSON libraries besidesRapidJSON. - #320
- #321
- #323
- #330
I'll update this list as new features crop up and as I/we make progress on it. If there's something you'd like to see that I haven't included already, feel free to comment on this issue.

Research direction
Start with the next branch and review the remaining unchecked item, #330, along with the linked discussions and completed 5.0 checklist items. This issue is a broad tracking plan for breaking API changes, C++20/C++23 adoption, and alternate JSONResponse implementations rather than a self-contained task; done depends on the specific feature selected.
