noodlec

Welcome to the Noodle C99 Parser project! This repository contains a C99 parser designed for the Noodle data language. Noodle is a lightweight language for data representation. This parser lets you seamlessly integrate Noodle data structures into C applications.

Features

• Parse Noodle data files into C99 data structures.
• Intuitive API for navigating and manipulating parsed Noodle data.
• Lightweight and minimal dependencies.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/cadenmiller/noodlec.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd noodlec
3. Build the parser library using CMake.
4. Link with your C project.

Usage

1. Include "noodle.h" in your code.
2. Initialize by creating a root Noodle_t using noodleParse().
3. Work with the parsed data using the functions noodleFrom() and noodleAt().
4. Free resources with noodleFree().

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include "noodle.h"

int main() {
    NoodleGroup_t* settings = noodleParseFromFile("settings.noodle");
    if (!parser) return EXIT_FAILURE;

    bool valid = false;
    float volume = noodleFloatFrom(settings, "volume", &valid);
    int vulkanDeviceId = noodleIntFrom(settings, "vulkanDeviceId", &valid);  

    if (!valid) return EXIT_FAILURE;

    // And it's just that easy, use the parsed data here!
    // ...
    
    noodleFree(settings);
    return 0;
}
