Confetti is a configuration language and parser library written in C11 with no external dependencies.
Confetti is intended for human-editable configuration files. It is minimalistic, untyped, and opinionated. Schema conformance is validated by the user application.
Confetti does not compete with JSON or XML, it competes with INI files.
