snaky_strings

snaky_strings is a simple C library used to create attribute lists that describe objects or collections of data.

An example of a snaky_string looks like this:

{< x = 20; y = 50 >}
{< z = y - x >}

/[ This is a Label! ]/
{< key = value >}

/* functions like cos and rads can be used! */
{< degs = 60; angle = cos(rads(degs)) >}

/* arrays can be created like so: */
{< arr = [2, 4, 6] >}

/* attribute strings can be nested to create object-like structures */
{< obj = {< x_pos = 30; y_pos = 45; color = white >} >}

/* those values above can also be referenced like so: */
{< value1 = arr[1]; value2 = obj.x_pos >}

Features

• Creating attribute strings holding key=value pairs
• Using and defining custom mathematical expressions, functions, and constants
• Functions for parsing certain types (bool, int, float, etc.)
• Functions for moving within a file or string
• Functions for bundling up snaky_strings into a map or list
• Dynamically and directly modifying attribute strings
• Reading and writing to files using differing modes (text, binary, encrypt)
• Using arrays and objects to hold collections of data
• Creating comments and labels within a file holding snaky_string data

Note

snaky_strings is not thread-safe.
