README
ipacore
This library provides basic type definitions and conversion tables for the International Phonetic Alphabet.
Why?
If you are developing an application that needs the IPA programmatically, then this library might be useful.
How complex is this?
Well, we have to represent more than 170 symbols, and provide about 2 or 3 different encodings of each symbol. Complex is an understatement when describing this, and unfortunately there is no other easy way.
In this library, I have tried to favor speeding up compilation times. So I minimized the use of macros and templates. This has truly been a pain to write.
Be warned that this library is also quite low-level. You, yourself, have to figure out how exactly you want ipacore to be used in your program.
Good luck, you'll need it.
