Parser combinators for binary formats, in C. Yes, in C. What? Don't look at me like that.
sds is a C dynamic string library that provides a memory management wrapper for heap-allocated strings. It implements binary-safe storage by tracking string lengths explicitly, allowing the library to handle null characters within data. The library distinguishes itself through a memory architecture that uses interchangeable function pointers for allocation and freeing, enabling the integration of custom memory managers. It utilizes header-stored length tracking to provide constant-time length retrieval and maintains null-terminated buffer padding to ensure compatibility with standard C string
