+Examples
+=====
+
+These examples show how to embed civetweb into a C ([embedded_c](https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb/tree/master/examples/embedded_c)) or a C++ ([embedded_cpp](https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb/tree/master/examples/embedded_cpp)) application.
+The C++ wrapper only offers a subset of the full C API, thus the C example is more complete than the C++ example.
+
+Some no longer maintained examples can be found in the ["obsolete"](https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb/tree/master/examples/_obsolete) folder. It is not guaranteed that they work in the current version - they are kept for reference, but might be removed in the future.
