Getting Started

DDL is a lightweight C++17 library for storing and working with dynamic data.

Requirements

Before using DDL, make sure you have:

• A C++ compiler with C++17 support.
• The DDL header file.

Installation

DDL supports a simple single-header distribution.

1. Download ddl.h from the project's dist directory.
2. Place it somewhere in your project.
3. Include it in your source file:

#include "ddl.h"

That's it! You can now start using DDL.

Your First Program

Let's create a simple value and print it.

#include "ddl.h"
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    ddl::value data = 42;

    std::cout << data << '\n';

    return 0;
}

Output:

42
