  Description     : S-expressions parser and generator C++ library and command-line tool

S-expressions are data structures fr representing complex data as a
variation on LISP S-Expressions.  They are similar to (but older than)
JSON.  There are a handful of variations in format and
canonicalization that it can be useful to translate between, and to
abstract away from.

This C++ library inherits from the the original canonical MIT-licensed
s-expression code offered by Rivest and Lampson, and is augmented to
include parsing capabilities for extensions made by the GnuPG project.

This library is used by the current upstream version of librnp
(Ribose's OpenPGP implementation), for the purpose of interoperability
with GnuPG's local file storage.
