# Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This document outlines the principles that drive the development of ChaiScript. ChaiScript does not intent to be the perfect tool for *every* situation, but it does intend to be a good general purpose tool for *most* situations.
|
||||
|
||||
# Goals
|
||||
|
||||
1. Trivially easy to integrate with C++ projects
|
||||
2. 0 external depenencies
|
||||
3. "Perfect" integration with C++
|
||||
* Direct mapping between ChaiScript objects and C++ objects
|
||||
* Direct mapping between ChaiScript functions and C++ functions
|
||||
* Direct mapping between ChaiScript exceptions and C++ exceptions
|
||||
3. Never surprise the C++ developer
|
||||
* Object lifetimes managed by the stack
|
||||
* Familiar syntax to C++ developers
|
||||
4. Perform "well enough" to not get in the way
|
