Serialization is part of the story. It would be great if someone can also write header-only dependency-free cross-platform RPC library :).

Since you mention it, check out the experimental RPC support:

https://github.com/google/libnop/blob/master/examples/interf... https://github.com/google/libnop/blob/master/include/nop/rpc...

I haven't documented it yet since it's not fully baked, but it's quite functional nonetheless. I have a working prototype of RPC over USB between a host PC and a Cortex-M micro controller. The ability to define constexpr dispatch tables is very convenient in a micro controller environment.

What transport do you use? http? Do you use any dependency for handling transport layer? I haven’t seen a good clean dependency less headed-only approach for this yet.

The library is transport agnostic. There is a Reader/Writer abstraction to adapt to any transport you like.
