About:
Canfigger is a lightweight C library designed for parsing simple configuration files. It provides an easy-to-use API for reading key-value pairs and sections, making it ideal for embedding in projects that need straightforward configuration management without heavy dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Simple and lightweight C library
  • Supports key-value pairs and sections
  • No external dependencies
  • Easy to integrate into existing projects
Use Cases:
  • Managing configuration for C-based applications
  • Embedded systems requiring minimal configuration parsing
  • Tools needing simple INI-style config file support
Alternatives:
  • libconfig – More feature-rich but has external dependencies and a larger footprint
  • inih – Similar lightweight approach but with different syntax and API design
