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

• libyang - the devel branch (even for the master branch of libyang-cpp)
  • temporarily (March 2024) this requires the pre-v3 API of libyang (commit b3d079fc3)
• C++20 compiler (e.g., GCC 10.x+, clang 10+)
• CMake 3.19+

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

mkdir build cd build cmake .. make make install 

Check the test suite in tests/ for usage examples.
