ctpl

C Template (Parser) Library

CTPL is a template library written in C. It allows fast and easy parsing of templates from many sources (including in-memory data and local and remote streaming, thanks to GIO) and fine control over template parsing environment. CTPL depends on the following libraries: - GLib :: General purpose C utility library - GIO :: GLib's I/O abstraction library * Advantages - It is a library, then it can be easily used from programs; - Separated lexer and parser; - It is written in portable C; - Simple syntax; - Fast and strict parsing; - Possible in-memory parsing, allowing non-file data parsing and avoiding I/O-latency, through GIO's GMemoryInputStream and GMemoryOutputStream. * Disadvantages - Since the input is first completely loaded as a token tree in memory -- which is also one of the advantages -- , it may consume a little more memory than the input template size.
