PGNP: PGN Parser

PGNP is a Portable Game Notation (PGN) parser. More details about the PGN specification can be found here.

How to use it ?

PGNP can be used as a shared library in your project. You only need to include the header file and linking the .so file to your executable.

Example

Load PGN from file:

pgnp::PGN pgn;
try {
    pgn.FromFile("pgn.txt");
}
catch(...){
    // Handle exceptions
}

Load PGN from string:

pgnp::PGN pgn;
try {
    pgn.FromString("YOUR PGN CONTENT HERE");
}
catch(...){
    // Handle exceptions
}

Various API calls:

pgn.HasTag("Round"); // Check if tag exists
try {
    pgn.STRCheck(); // Perform a Seven Tag Roster check
}
catch(...){
    // Handle exceptions
}
std::vector<std::string> tags=pgn.GetTagList(); // Get a list of tags
std::string tagValue=GetTagValue("Date"); // Get the value of a tag

Access to moves:

pgnp::HalfMove *move=new pgnp::HalfMove();
pgn.GetMoves(move); // Get the tree of half moves (do not forget to call "delete move")
int length=move->GetLength(); // Get the number of half moves in the move MainLine
// Public members:
// move->variations contains variations of the current move
// move->isBlack boolean that says if current half move is for the black side
// Check pgnp.hpp for more infos for other field (comments, count, etc.)
