Elektra is also easy to use and does not depend on external libraries. The difference is that we realized that there is no perfect format for storing configuration so we leave that decision out. We introduce a global namespace for configuration in an operating system independent way. This allows a programmer to identify keys without knowing where they are actually stored, which could be EET, but also a configuration file, berkley db, the windows registry,.. realized through backends. See http://www.libelektra.org/GetStartedMounting how you can set the key system/filesystems/rootfs/type storing them into a filesys or in the legacy /etc/fstab. > [1] http://wiki.enlightenment.org/index.php/Eet > [2] http://www.enlightenment.org/viewvc/e17/libs/eet/ Sounds very nice, I will have a look at it. The disadvantage is that you can't read or edit that files. But it would certainly be a very good backend if you need very fast reads.
