I am in the very early stages of porting a few libraries (all C++) to Julia. I’d like to have Julia wrappers of them first, but I have little experience in this area. Other than the examples in the docs for Cxx.jl and CxxWrap.jl, what are some examples of high quality wrapped Julia libraries using Cxx or CxxWrap that one should look at for best practices?

Thanks in advance.

Cxx is a bit of a stalled progress, atm it supports up to 1.3. While they are not abandoned, it looks like it’s significantly more difficult to use C++ lib than C.
