There are not many +(any?) relatively lightweight GTF/GFF parsers exposing a C++ interface, +and the goal of this library is to provide this functionality without +the necessity of drawing in a heavy-weight dependency like SeqAn. Note: +This library draws directly from the code in GFFRead and GCLib, and +exists primarily to remove functionality (and hence code) that is +unnecessary for our downstream purposes. In the future, it may be +appropriate to just replace this library wholesale with GCLib. + +WWW: https://github.com/COMBINE-lab/libgff |
