    <h1>What&#x27;s Next</h1>
    <p>Great job finishing the Tour! You now have a solid grasp of the cpp-httplib basics. But there's a lot more to explore. Here's a quick overview of features we didn't cover in the Tour, organized by category.</p>
<h2>Streaming API</h2>
<p>When you're working with LLM streaming responses or downloading large files, you don't want to load the entire response into memory. Use <code>stream::Get()</code> to process data chunk by chunk.</p>

<p>You can also pass a <code>content_receiver</code> callback to <code>Get()</code>. This approach works with Keep-Alive.</p>

<p>On the server side, you have <code>set_content_provider()</code> and <code>set_chunked_content_provider()</code>. Use the former when you know the size, and the latter when you don't.</p>
