I didn't know anything about Boost until I had to deal with it as a set
of dependencies on something I wanted to compile.
Some of the imaging libraries I use as part of my document filing system
use Boost. Thankfully, all of them can be coerced to use library
versions installed by:
sudo apt install libboost-all-dev
I wouldn't want to venture further than that.

From www.boost.org.
"
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a
broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both
commercial and non-commercial use.
We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
standardization. Ten Boost libraries are included in the C++ Standards
Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and in the new C++11
Standard. C++11 also includes several more Boost libraries in addition
to those from TR1. More Boost libraries are proposed for standardization
in C++17.

So its kind of like the glibc for things that are not in glibc.
