PIP - Platform-Independent Primitives - is crossplatform library for C++ developers. This library can help developers write non-GUI projects much more quickly, efficiently and customizable than on pure C++.

Applications written on PIP work the same on any system. One can read and write any data types, serialize any types to device channels between any systems.

Many common data types, system primitives and devices implemented in this library.

PIP also tightly integrates with CMake build system, providing handy search for the main library, additional modules of PIP and several utilities. With CMake and PIP one can easily generate and use code metainformation or serialize custom types with version back-compatibility.

Summary one can find at Functionality summary page.
