wg14.link

This is the source code for wg14.link, an unofficial ISO C (WG14) redirect service. It's like wg21.link except for C and with less features!

How it works

Change detection

A hash of the WG14 document log webpage is stored at data/hash.md5 which is checked by a GitHub actions workflow to notify us of any changes.

Document data

All documents are listed in data/documents.yaml. Aliases (like c99) are listed in data/alias.yaml. These files get parsed at build time to generate a 170 KB JSON data file that our Express application (app.js) consumes. Citation files in BibTeX and CSL-YAML format are also generated.

Infrastructure

Hosted on Heroku with DNS and caching by Cloudflare.
