The Plywood C++ Runtime Library

Plywood is a low-level C++ library for building cross-platform native software. It provides a simple, portable C++ interface over OS features and commonly-used data structures & algorithms. Its compact size and lack of dependencies make it easy to integrate and fast to compile.

Plywood's features are divided into .cpp/.h pairs located in the src folder. Integrating a feature into your project is a matter of including its header file, compiling its source file and linking with the resulting object file.

• <ply-base.h> (4309 lines): Operating system access, commonly-used data structures, Unicode support.
• <ply-math.h> (1750 lines): Matrix, vector and quaternion types for graphics and game development.
• <ply-network.h> (270 lines): TCP/IP network interface supporting IPv4 and IPv6.
• <ply-btree.h> (895 lines): B-Tree implementation for sorted key-value storage.
• <ply-tokenizer.h> (153 lines): Common routines for reading tokens from text.
• <ply-json.h> (285 lines): JSON parser and serializer.
• <ply-markdown.h> (132 lines): Markdown parser with HTML output.
• <ply-cpp.h> (439 lines): Experimental C++ parser (mainly for documentation generation purposes).

There are several sample applications in the apps folder that demonstrate how to use the library. CMake is required to build them. Detailed instructions can be found in the Getting Started guide.
