A small, dependency-free C library for parsing INI configuration files, around 1500 lines of code in four files. It is fully re-entrant, portable pedantic C, and builds as static or shared libraries via CMake.
Use cases
- parse ini config files from C
- read application settings from an ini file
- embed a lightweight ini parser in a C project
- load configuration without external dependencies
- write and modify ini files programmatically in C
When to choose
- you need a tiny, portable ini parser in C with no dependencies
- you want a re-entrant parser that is easy to make thread-safe
- you need a mature, widely packaged ini library
When to avoid
- you need hierarchical or typed configuration formats like YAML, TOML, or JSON
- you want built-in thread safety without adding your own mutex
- you need a parser in a language other than C
