Hash++ also aims to be a suitable alternative to heavier, statically and dynamically-linked libraries such as OpenSSL and Crypto++. I created it keeping in mind the mindset of a programmer who simply wants a header-only file that lets them easily and comfortably "just hash sh*t." Does it really have to be that difficult?

No, it doesn't.

#include "hashpp.h"
using namespace hashpp;
int main() {
	std::cout << get::getHash(ALGORITHMS::SHA2_256, "Hello World!") << std::endl;
	// output:
	//   7f83b1657ff1fc53b92dc18148a1d65dfc2d4b1fa3d677284addd200126d9069
}
