## What it is
qLibc is a general-purpose C/C++ library providing a consistent set of container APIs including hash tables, tree tables, linked lists, vectors, queues, and stacks, plus general utilities for strings, files, I/O, IPC, encoders, and hashes. It also offers extension modules such as configuration file parsers, an HTTP client, a rotating file logger, a MySQL interface, and a token-bucket rate limiter.

## Use cases
- need a hashtable or red-black tree implementation in C
- want a linked list, vector, queue, or stack container library for C
- parse INI or Apache-style configuration files in C
- need Base64, URL, or hex encoding utilities in C
- require a simple HTTP client or rotating file logger in C
- implement token-bucket rate limiting in a C application
- use shared memory, semaphores, or IPC primitives in C

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, BSD-licensed C library with consistent container APIs
- you want common data structures without pulling in heavyweight dependencies
- you need portable string, file, I/O, and hash utilities in C/C++

## When to avoid
- you need modern C++ STL-style containers with templates and type safety
- you require high-performance concurrent lock-free data structures
- you need a package-manager-friendly library with broad ecosystem integration

## Facets
- artifact type: library
