A collection of single-file, public domain (dual MIT) C/C++ libraries covering graphics app frameworks, data structures, threading, HTTP, and media utilities. It also includes repackaged single-file versions of well-known third-party libraries.

Use cases

• add a hash table or string pool to a C project without dependencies
• build a small cross-platform graphical app in C
• read assets from zip files in a game
• cross-platform threading primitives in C/C++
• parse ini files in C
• render CRT-style shaders or pixel fonts
• convert images to palettes with dithering
• read ID3 tags from mp3 files

When to choose

• you want small, dependency-free, single-header C/C++ libraries
• you're building a game or graphical tool in C and want a minimal base framework
• you prefer public domain/MIT licensing with no attribution requirements
• you want stb-style libraries covering data structures, threading, and media

When to avoid

• you need HTTPS or full-featured networking (http.h is basic sockets only)
• you need mature, feature-rich alternatives rather than minimal implementations
• you need C++-idiomatic APIs with templates and RAII
• you require guaranteed long-term support or a formal license file
