Yes. I'll even tell you about some. However, I haven't used most of these libraries
|
|
|
and can't comment on their quality. (If you use them and aren't their author, feel

|
+###### Why isn't library XXX which is made of 3 or more files on this list?
|
|
|

|
|
|
+I draw the line arbitrarily at 2 files at most. (Note that some libraries that appear to
|
|
|
+be two files require a separate LICENSE file, which made me leave them out). Some of these
|
|
|
+libraries are still easy to drop into your project and build, so you might still be ok with them.
|
|
|
+But since people come to stb for single-file public domain libraries, I feel that starts

|
|
+to get too far from what we do here.

|
|
|
+###### Why isn't library XXX which is at most two files and has minimal other dependencies on this list?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Probably because I don't know about it, feel free to submit an issue. But I might not include
|
|
|
+it for various other reasons, including subtleties of what is 'minimal other dependencies' and
|
|
|
+subtleties about what is 'lightweight'.
