M*LIB is a header-only C library providing generic, type-safe containers and data structures (arrays, lists, hashmaps, trees, queues, strings, tuples, variants) comparable to the C++ STL, for C99/C11. It also includes algorithms, JSON/binary serialization, and thread-safe containers.

Use cases

• use generic type-safe containers in pure C
• get an STL-like hashmap or vector in C99
• implement lock-free queues for worker threads
• serialize C data structures to JSON or binary
• build recursive container-of-container types with destructors

When to choose

• you write C99/C11 and want STL-like containers without runtime dependencies
• you need compile-time type safety and custom constructors/destructors for container elements
• you want header-only integration with no build step

When to avoid

• you are writing C++ and can use the standard library directly
• you need runtime-polymorphic containers rather than macro-generated types
• your toolchain lacks C99/C11 support
