textproc/ctpl 0.3.5 FreeBSD

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.
