ABOUT:
The libcvariant project is a stand-alone implementation of the GVariant
specification, implemented in ISO-C11 with only very limited
dependencies on GCC/llvm compiler extensions. The library is aimed for
native use in C wherever GVariants need to be streamed. It is not aimed
for language bindings, nor recommended for use in native GVariant type
systems. It does not place any restrictions, though. You are free to
use it in any situation where you have to deal with GVariants.
GVariant is a specification for a type-system, including its
serialization format. It has its origins in DBus and glib, but is
completely independent of those. GVariant was designed for native use
in C. Large parts of its type-system can be represented natively in C
(including compound types via 'struct', real nesting via void
pointers, ...). However, GVariant extends this system with dynamically
sized arrays, strings, and true nesting. For more details, you are
recommended to read an introduction into GVariant, or dive directly
into the specification.
This library is optimized for marshaling/demarshaling of pakets or
files that are serialized as GVariants. It has a very convenient API to
(de-)serialize compound types from/to native types in C.
If you rather want a type-system built on GVariant, you are recommended
to look at the glib-2 implementation, including GObject.
