C++ bindings for libyang

libyang-cpp implements object-oriented bindings of the libyang library in modern C++. Object lifetimes are managed automatically via RAII.

Dependencies

• libyang v3 - the devel branch (even for the master branch of libyang-cpp)
• C++20 compiler (e.g., GCC 10.x+, clang 10+)
• CMake 3.19+
• optionally for built-in tests, Doctest as a C++ unit test framework
• optionally for the docs, Doxygen

Building

libyang-cpp uses CMake for building. One way of building libyang-cpp looks like this:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

Usage
