# Synopsis

`#include <ucl.h>`

# Description

Libucl is a parser and `C` API to parse and generate `ucl` objects. Libucl consist of several groups of functions:

### Parser functions
Used to parse `ucl` files and provide interface to extract `ucl` object. Currently, `libucl` can parse only full `ucl` documents, for instance, it is impossible to parse a part of document and therefore it is impossible to use `libucl` as a streaming...

### Emitting functions
Convert `ucl` objects to some textual or binary representation. Currently, libucl supports the following exports:

- `JSON` - valid json format (can possibly lose some original data, such as implicit arrays)
- `Config` - human-readable configuration format (lossless)
- `YAML` - embedded yaml format (has the same limitations as `json` output)

### Conversion functions
Help to convert `ucl` objects to C types. These functions are used to convert `ucl_object_t` to C primitive types, such as numbers, strings or boolean values.

Libucl is a parser and \f[C]C\f[] API to parse and generate \f[C]ucl\f[]
objects.
Libucl consist of several groups of functions:
.SS Parser functions
.PP
Used to parse \f[C]ucl\f[] files and provide interface to extract
\f[C]ucl\f[] object.
Currently, \f[C]libucl\f[] can parse only full \f[C]ucl\f[] documents,
for instance, it is impossible to parse a part of document and therefore
it is impossible to use \f[C]libucl\f[] as a streaming parser.
In future, this limitation can be removed.
.SS Emitting functions
.PP
Convert \f[C]ucl\f[] objects to some textual or binary representation.
Currently, libucl supports the following exports:
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[C]JSON\f[] \- valid json format (can possibly lose some original
data, such as implicit arrays)
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[C]Config\f[] \- human\-readable configuration format (lossless)
