libbls is a highly efficient, flexible and robust data manipulation library in the form of an editable buffer.

So, what is an editable buffer?

An editable buffer is a data structure which stores data and allows for efficient insert, replace, delete, copy, multiple undo and redo editing operations. libbls does all these in a fast and memory efficient manner, combining data from both memory and arbitrary sized chunks from files.

A simple, intuitive and yet powerful API provides the infrastructure needed to develop scalable applications that handle large volumes of data.

libbls is under development. However, its main features are in a very usable state, so don't hesitate to try it out and tell us what you think.
