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
