Two Monero blockchain explorer exist in the clearnet. Although useful,
their limitations are that they use JavaScript, have images

available as hidden services. These things are of importance
for privacy-oriented users.
In this example, these limitations are addressed. Specifically,

and it not only shows how to use Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to
use:
- [crow](https://github.com/ipkn/crow) - C++ micro web framework
- [lmdb++](https://github.com/bendiken/lmdbxx) - C++ wrapper for the LMDB
- [mstch](https://github.com/no1msd/mstch) - C++ {{mustache}} templates
- [rapidjson](https://github.com/miloyip/rapidjson) - C++ JSON parser/generator
