Simple cross-platform networking framework/library for c++ and Java

I'm going to write simple c++ application, server-client, client-client. I would like to develop server in Java or C++ and client in C++.Since now i haven't got any experiences with networking.

So what C++ and Java library or framework do you recommend to begin with?

I've heard that Java is better that c++ for network applications, is that true?

Java better than C++ for network applications? False.

If you need to use a framework will depend on what you need to do. For example, to have persistent connections among clients and server, you can use XMPP protocol. There are very good implementations for Java and C++ so you won't need to write a lot of networking code.

Otherwise, just using C++ and Java socket's API will do just fine.

Protocol Buffers is likely the easiest framework. It allows cross-platform communication between Java, C++ and Python (and probably a few others by now).

No.
