TBOX is a glib-like cross-platform C library providing containers, algorithms, streams, coroutines, and platform abstractions. It simplifies C development with a rich set of reusable modules across Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS.

Use cases

  • write portable C code across windows linux and macos
  • use containers and algorithms in C like glib
  • parse xml and plist in C
  • use coroutines and streams in C
  • abstract platform differences in a C project

When to choose

  • you need a batteries-included C utility library on multiple platforms
  • you want glib-like functionality without glib's dependencies
  • you need /xml parsing, containers, or coroutines in C

When to avoid

  • you only target one platform and prefer native APIs
  • you need a C++-only solution
  • you want a minimal single-purpose library instead of a large framework
