Description
Libconfig is a simple library for manipulating structured configuration files. This file format is more compact and more readable than XML. And unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string parsing in application code.
Libconfig is very compact - for example, the stripped C shared library is much smaller than the expat XML parser library. This makes it well-suited for memory-constrained systems like handheld devices.
