XDF

XDF is a simple and versatile static C++ library for handling data with minimal overhead.

Usage

The format requires you to have an XDFRoot object as the root, as that has the write function. The root does not require a name, however XDFNode does. ¹

// node.h
class XDFRoot : public XDFNode {
public:
  ...

  void write(const std::string& filename);
  bool read(const std::string& filename);
};

Syntax could look something like this:

using namespace xdf;

...

XDFRoot root;
root.addValue("version", "0.1.0");

XDFNode child {"list"};
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
  XDFNode entry{std::to_string(i)};
  child.append(entry);
}

root.append(child);

root.write("file.xdf");

// root.read() returns true if the read was successful
if (root.read("file.xdf") {
  std::string version = root.getValues().find("version")->second;
  int listSize = root.getChildren().find("list")->second.getChildren().getSize();
}
