The core terrace parser is distributed as a single-header C library.<br/>
To use it, download [parser.h](https://git.thederf.com/thederf/Terrace/src/branch/main/packages/c/parser.h) and include in your project tree.
The terrace parser is distributed as a set of C header files.<br/>
To use it, download and include the following files in your project tree:
- [parser.h](https://git.thederf.com/thederf/Terrace/src/branch/main/packages/c/parser.h) - Core terrace parser
- [document.h](https://git.thederf.com/thederf/Terrace/src/branch/main/packages/c/document.h) - (optional) Convenience functions for parsing of documents

In most cases, you'll use the [Document API](#document-api) instead.
The Core API provides low-level parsing for individual lines.
