We have a C++ web service that helps manage and run scripts for users. We have to offer 2 APIs: RegisterScript API: Users can register scripts for a variety of languages(Python, Ruby, JavaScript etc.) through this api RunScript API: Users can run their previously registered scripts through this API Right now we’re not sure how we would go about this, any pointers would be nice but we’d prefer a solution that: Doesn’t have to start an OS process for every RunScript invocation Doesn’t rely on running shell commands from C++ Preferably there’s an open source library/framework with support for multiple languages out of the box? Thanks! Jessica

Running any scripting language from C++ service

We have a C++ web service that helps manage and run scripts for users. We have to offer 2 APIs:

RegisterScript API: Users can register scripts for a variety of languages(Python, Ruby, JavaScript etc.) through this api
RunScript API: Users can run their previously registered scripts through this API

Right now we’re not sure how we would go about this, any pointers would be nice but we’d prefer a solution that:

Doesn’t have to start an OS process for every RunScript invocation
Doesn’t rely on running shell commands from C++
Preferably there’s an open source library/framework with support for multiple languages out of the box?

Thanks! Jessica
