scnlib-4.0.1p0

scanf for modern C++

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

scnlib is a modern C++ library for replacing scanf and std::istream. This library attempts to move us ever so much closer to replacing iostreams and C stdio altogether. It's faster than iostream, and type-safe, unlike scanf. Think {fmt} or C++20 std::format, but in the other direction.
