## Introduction ([中文](/README_zh.md))

TBOX is a glib-like cross-platform C library that is simple to use yet powerful in nature.

The project focuses on making C development easier and provides many modules (.e.g stream, coroutine, regex, container, algorithm ...),
so that any developer can quickly pick it up and enjoy the productivity boost when developing in C language.

It supports the following platforms: Windows, Macosx, Linux, Android, iOS, *BSD and etc.

And it provides many compiling options using [xmake](https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake):

* Release: Disable debug information, assertion, memory checking and enable optimization.
* Debug: Enable debug information, assertion, memory checking and disable optimization.
* Small: Disable all extensional modules and enable space optimization.
* Micro: compiling micro library (~64K) for the embed system.

## Features

#### The stream library

- Supports file, data, http and socket source
- Supports the stream filter for gzip, charset and...
- Implements stream transfer
- Implements the static buffer stream for parsing data
- Supports coroutine and implements asynchronous operation

#### The coroutine library

- Provides high-performance coroutine switch
- Supports arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 ..
- Provides channel interfaces
- Provides semaphore and lock interfaces
- Supports io socket and stream operation in coroutine
- Provides some io servers (http ..) using coroutine
- Provides stackfull and stackless coroutines
- Support epoll, kqueue, poll, select and IOCP
- Support to wait pipe, socket and process in coroutine and poller at same time

#### The database library

- Supports mysql and sqlite3 database and enumerates data using the iterator mode

#### The xml parser library

- Supports DOM and SAX mode and Supports xpath

#### The serialization and deserialization library

- Supports xml, json, bplist, xplist, binary formats

#### The memory library

- Implements some memory pools for optimizing memory
- Supports fast memory error detecting. it can detect the following types of bugs for the debug mode:
  - out-of-bounds accesses to heap and globals
  - use-after-free
  - double-free, invalid free
  - memory leaks

#### The container library

- Implements hash table, single list, double list, vector, stack, queue
  and min/max heap. Supports iterator mode for algorithm

#### The algorithm library

- Uses the iterator mode
- Implements find, binary find and reverse find algorithm
- Implements sort, bubble sort, quick sort, heap sort and insert sort algorithm
- Implements count, walk items, reverse walk items, for_all and rfor_all

#### The network library

- Implements dns(cached)
- Implements ssl(openssl, polarssl, mbedtls)
- Implements http
- Implements cookies
- Supports ipv4, ipv6
- Supports coroutine

#### The platform library

- Implements timer, fast and low precision timer
- Implements atomic and atomic64 operation
- Implements spinlock, mutex, event, semaphore, thread and thread pool
- Implements file, socket operation
- Implements poller using epoll, poll, select, kqueue ...
- Implements switch context interfaces for coroutine

#### The charset library

- Supports utf8, utf16, gbk, gb2312, uc2 and uc4
- Supports big endian and little endian mode

#### The zip library

- Supports gzip, zlibraw, zlib formats using the zlib library if exists
- Implements lzsw, lz77 and rlc algorithm

#### The utils library

- Implements base32, base64 encoder and decoder
- Implements assert and trace output for the debug mode

#### The math library

- Implements random generator
- Implements fast fixed-point calculation, Supports 6-bits, 16-bits, 30-bits fixed-point number

#### The libc library

- Implements lightweight libc library interfaces, the interface name contains `tb_xxx` prefix for avoiding conflict
- Implements strixxx strrxxx wcsixxx wcsrxxx interface extension
- Optimizes some frequently-used interface, .e.g. memset, memcpy, strcpy ...
- Implements `memset_u16`, `memset_u32`, `memset_u64` extension interfaces

#### The libm library

- Implements lightweight libm library interfaces, the interface name contains `tb_xxx` prefix for avoiding conflict
- Supports float and double type

#### The regex library

- Supports match and replace
- Supports global/multiline/caseless mode
- Uses pcre, pcre2 and posix regex modules

#### The hash library

- Implements crc32, adler32, md5 and sha1 hash algorithm
- Implements some string hash algorithms (.e.g bkdr, fnv32, fnv64, sdbm, djb2, rshash, aphash ...)
- Implements uuid generator

```console
$ ./configure
$ make
```

## Example

```c
#include "tbox/tbox.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    if (!tb_init(tb_null, tb_null)) return 0;

tb_vector_ref_t vector = tb_vector_init(0, tb_element_str(tb_true));
    if (vector) {
        tb_vector_insert_tail(vector, "hello");
        tb_vector_insert_tail(vector, "tbox");

tb_for_all (tb_char_t const*, cstr, vector) {
            tb_trace_i("%s", cstr);
