# SerpentCpp

C++11 Serpent Loader

Loads basic serpent strings

### Limitations:

* Numbers are stored as double - so a loss of precision may happen

* Loads tables in a recursive manner - so it might cause a stack overflow if it's nested too deeply

* This was written to load fairly basic tables - so more specific lua things might break. Do tell if they do and I'll look at fixing things

### Usage

```c++

std::string serpentString = "do local _={keyHere=5,{wowNested={moreNesting=\"string\",false=true}}}; return _; end";

try {

	Serpent serpent = Serpent::Load(serpentString);

	Serpent& someChild = serpent["keyHere"];

	if (!someChild.IsNull()) {

		if (someChild.IsNumber()) {

			std::cout << "'keyHere' is " << someChild.As() << std::endl;

		} else {

			std::cerr << "'keyHere' is not a number :( "<< someChild.Type()  << std::endl;

		}

	} else {

		std::cerr << "'keyHere' does not exist" << std::endl;

	}

	if (serpent[1]["wowNested"][false].IsBool() && serpent[1]["wowNested"][false].As()) {

		std::cout << "Nesting and indexing by bool seems to work fine too" << std::endl;

	} else {

		std::cerr << "Nesting and indexing by bool is broken :(" << std::endl;

	}

} catch (Serpent::Exception e) {

	// Uh Oh - something went wrong

	std::cerr << "Something went: " << std::endl

			  << e.what() << std::endl;

}

```
