A pure C17 library that reimplements a large slice of the C++ Standard Library (containers, algorithms, smart pointers) plus Python-style utilities like , regex, random, and statistics. It offers 40+ modules with cross-platform POSIX/Win32 backends, Valgrind-verified leak-free code, and CMake-based builds.

Use cases

• use C++ STL-style containers like vector and map in a C project
• parse and generate JSON, XML, CSV, and INI files in pure C
• get Python-like random, statistics, and secrets modules in C
• write TCP/UDP/HTTP networking code in portable C
• do arbitrary-precision big integer math in C
• avoid memory leaks with well-tested C data structures

When to choose

• you're writing C and miss the convenience of C++ STL containers and algorithms
• you need portable C17 code that builds on Windows (MSVC/MinGW) and Linux (GCC/Clang)
• you want leak-free, Valgrind-verified data structures with clear ownership rules
• you want Python-standard-library-style utilities without leaving the C ecosystem

When to avoid

• you're already writing C++ and can use the real STL directly
• you need battle-hardened, widely-deployed libraries for security-critical crypto or networking
• you need C89/C99 compatibility rather than C17
• you need a package-managed dependency rather than a CMake-built source library
