About:
Iniparser is a lightweight C library designed for parsing and managing INI configuration files. It provides a simple API to read, write, and modify key-value pairs within sections, making it easy to integrate configuration management into C applications. Its minimal footprint and straightforward functionality make it ideal for embedded systems and projects requiring simple data persistence.
Key Features:
  • Simple and lightweight C library
  • Fast parsing of INI files
  • In-memory dictionary representation
  • No external dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Managing application configuration in C/C++ programs
  • Parsing simple data files in embedded systems
  • Reading setup parameters for server daemons
Alternatives:
  • libconfig – More feature-rich with support for multiple formats but heavier than Iniparser
  • glib (GKeyFile) – Part of the GNOME ecosystem; requires linking against a large library
