C

libelektra is written in C. It is very active and maintained and developed by the core developers.

The c-binding enhance the minimal API with a lot of useful functions for working with key, keysets and the key database. They include working with names, strings and useful shortcuts to achieve more comfortable working. This part is in unstable but has a test environment.

C++

Status: Maintained by Markus

C++ allow powerful features like templates, exceptions and has a build in string class.

An exception hierachy will allow the safe use of elektra without checking return values all the time.

Templates allow using all datatypes you wish to get and set (just support Streams for your datatype) typesafe!

This binding is very new but has a test environment. It is actively developed, ideas and help is welcome!
