C++ HOCON Parser

This is a port of the TypesafeConfig library to C++.

The library provides C++ support for the HOCON configuration file format.

Caveats

This is a mostly complete implementation of the HOCON format. It currently has some known limitations

Include requires the location specifier, i.e. include "foo" won't work but include file("foo") will. URL is not yet implemented, and classpath won't be supported as it makes less sense outside of the JVM.
Unicode testing is absent so support is unknown. There are likely things that won't work.

Build Requirements

OSX or Linux
GCC >= 4.8 or Clang >= 3.4 (with libc++)
CMake >= 3.2.2
Boost Libraries >= 1.54
Leatherman

Pre-Build

Prepare the cmake release environment:

$ mkdir release
$ cd release
$ cmake ..

Optionally, also prepare the debug environment:

$ mkdir debug
$ cd debug
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

Building

Enter your build environment of choice, i.e. cd release or cd debug
make
(optional) install with make install

Testing

Run tests with make test.
