libucl
A C library for parsing and validating configurations in a JSON-compatible language with nginx-like syntax and macros.
What is libucl?
UCL (Universal Configuration Language) is a C library for parsing, validating, and emitting configuration files. It provides a human-friendly syntax inspired by nginx while remaining fully compatible with JSON, and supports additional formats like MessagePack and YAML. It solves the problem of writing and maintaining complex configurations by offering a more readable and feature-rich alternative to plain JSON.
System developers, embedded engineers, and application developers who need a robust, flexible configuration parser for C projects, especially those dealing with nginx-like configs or requiring JSON compatibility.
Developers choose UCL for its blend of JSON compatibility and enhanced syntax, which reduces configuration complexity. Its macro system, validation against JSON Schema, and multi-format support make it a versatile choice for projects needing both human-editable and machine-processable configurations.
