lispreader 0.5 ============== lispreader is a small library for reading expressions in Lisp syntax. It has originally been written to facilitate simple exchange of structured data between processes but its main purpose is now to provide a framework for reading configuration files. To simplify interpretation of the read data, lispreader also provides functions for simple matching of expressions against patterns. lispreader is also used in at least one application to read and write data files. Lisp syntax is very suitable for doing this, especially if the data is organized hierachically. Documentation ------------- A reference manual for lispreader is included in the distribution in texinfo, info and html formats. Platforms --------- lispreader has been tested on GNU/Linux i386 and MacOS X PPC systems, but should work on any system with an ANSI C compliant compiler/library pair. Licence and Availability ------------------------ lispreader is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence.
