WARNING, SUPER UNFINISHED, DO NOT USE YET

teenycss - a header-only CSS library

teenycss is a library to parse a subset of Cascading Style Sheets, as an easy header-only, self-contained library.

Why?

teenycss is meant for use when a full web engine is excessive. E.g. styling in UI toolkits, games, e-book readers, and more.

This library is preferrable over a web engine for these reasons:

It's small with no dependencies. This means less integration work and less attack surface than a full web engine.
No HTML/web assumptions that tags like b, div, ... exist, or that you even use a particular type of document object model. It is ideal for use of styling of not-strictly-web elements.
It can be included as a single header file. This avoids introducing another build system you need to deal with for cross-compilation or similar.

This library is not preferrable if:

You just want to throw in an existing HTML/CSS UI where the library / web view handles the DOM for you
You want to parse the CSS of real-world, modern web page. teenycss is not a complete implementation, web pages will render wrong.

Usage

Include in Your Project

If you use the latest release, just grab the teenycss.h header file and include it:

#define TEENYCSS_IMPLEMENTATION  // define ONLY IN ONE OBJECT FILE.
#include <teenycss.h>

(the #define controls which ones of your object files contains the actual function code. If you include it only in one of your files, just always put the define.)

For a development version directly from git, build the teenycss.h file from the separate source files using make.

Usage Example

teenycss_ruleset *ruleset = teenycss_Parse(
    "body {font-size:12px;}\n"
    "h1 {font-size:15px;}"
);

License

teenycss is free software and it doesn't require attribution outside of the text in the header file, check the license for details.
