About:
Libwapcaplet is a string internment library designed for efficient string handling in C applications. It reduces memory usage by storing only a single copy of duplicate strings, which are referenced via pointers. This library is particularly useful in parsing and text processing scenarios where many identical string instances are created.
Key Features:
  • String interning for memory efficiency
  • Reference counting for automatic memory management
  • C API for integration into native applications
  • Minimal overhead for string comparisons and storage
Use Cases:
  • Reducing memory footprint in web browsers or parsers
  • Implementing efficient symbol tables in compilers
  • Managing string data in resource-constrained environments
Alternatives:
  • GLib GString – GLib offers broader utility functions, whereas Libwapcaplet focuses specifically on string interning.
  • Custom Hash Table – A generic hash table can be used, but Libwapcaplet provides a specialized, optimized solution for string interning.
