C/C++ parser for POM configuration language.
This library is implemented in C, with C++-friendly bindings available as well. See dedicated C++ README here.
libpom has
- small size (~30KB code+data)
- support for custom memory allocation
- no dependencies other than libc
Build with
make -j`nproc`
Install with
sudo make install
You can also do PROFILE=Debug make to build with debug information.
The Makefile creates a build directory and runs cmake for you by default.
You can also do this manually for more control over cmake options:
mkdir special-build
cd special-build
# e.g. don't build C++ library, tests, or examples
cmake -DLIBPOM_CXX=OFF -DLIBPOM_TESTS=OFF -DLIBPOM_EXAMPLES=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j`nproc`
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pom.h>
int main(void) {
pom_error *error;
pom_conf *conf = pom_load_path(NULL, "conf.pom", &error);
if (!conf) {
pom_error_print(error);
free(error);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
const char *indentation_type = pom_conf_get(conf, "indentation-type");
if (indentation_type)
printf("Indenting with %s\n", indentation_type);
else
printf("No indentation type set!\n");
pom_conf_free(conf);
}Assuming you have run make install, you just need to add -l:libpom.a (or -lpom to
use the shared library) to your compiler flags.
See examples/ directory for more examples.
