@ -6,98 +6,94 @@ People have told me about quite a few of these. However, I haven't used most of
and can't comment on their quality. (If you use them and aren't their author, feel
free to tell me about their quality.
**Public domain single-file libraries are in bold.** Other libraries are either non-public domain,
or two files, or both.
**Public domain single-file libraries usable from C are in bold.** Other libraries are either non-public domain,
or two files, or only usable from C++, or all three. (As of this writing, the usability-from-C is unknown for
many libraries, and the benefit of the doubt is given for boldfacing.)

There are also these XML libraries, but if you're using XML, shame on you:
- parsing: [tinyxml2](https://github.com/leethomason/tinyxml2): XML
- parsing: [pugixml](http://pugixml.org/): XML (MIT license)
There are some libraries that are just _so_ awesome that even though they use more
than two files we're going to give them special dispensation to appear in their own
little list here. If you're a crazy purist, be warned, but otherwise, enjoy!
Also you might be interested in other related, but different lists:
- [clib](https://github.com/clibs/clib/wiki/Packages): list of (mostly) small single C functions (licenses not listed)
