gifnooc is a configuration framework for ooc. At the moment, you can use it to manage command line (using Optparse) and INI options (using oocini) under a unified interface. You are supposed to organize your configuration in a "stack-like" structure. Everytime you need a configuration value, you ask the top entity for it. If it doesn't have any information about this value, it asks the next entity, and so it goes on recursively until an answer is found. If an entity knows a value, it is returned immediately. The bottom entity should always be a "fixed" entity that provides with default values. This way, top entities override bottom entities.
A drawing showing a typical approach:
(top)
| Optparse |
| INI (user) |
| INI (system) |
| Fixed |
(bottom)
Also, gifnooc provides with a generic extensible serializer in gifnooc/Serialize.
