FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

FAQ
Why Waffer?
When I started working on this code I need some sort of a name. Since it was intended to have smaller version along with bigger one (extending it) I came up with "diet" term stolen right from Panic Inc. and it's DietCoda app ;)
Still eating waffers with maple syrup I laughed and created DietWaffer class. This name sticks.
There's no XML!
Yup, you're right. I fully agree with Linus who's said:
XML is the worst format ever designed
I never had enough patience to deal with DOM trees, even with SimpleXML library onboard.
If you wish XML to be supported I kindly welcome pull-request for that feature.
Wait, where's INI?
INI format have a lot of limitations, and it's full of hacks. To be honest Waffer had INI support while ago, bud it was removed due to naming limitations.
For further informations see Notes section in PHP documentation for parse_ini_string().
Usage
Every library using Waffer is intended to have it it's default configuration. It's much like jQuery plugins - you can provide some extra options which overwrite default configuration. Single instance of Waffer is intended to be injected into multiple objects, deep into application.
Initialization
You can choose one of two classes - Waffer and DietWaffer. Second one contains only core configuration black-box, without any export/import capabilities.
Initial configuration array can be specified as constructor parameter.
(Re)storing data
Waffer was built to be simple, powerful and flexible tool. It supports many different ways of getting and storing configuration data. Let code below exaplains all of them:
Importing & exporting
Library supports JSON & (un)serialize oob. It also handles loading & saving settings from/to files.
Let's a piece of code explain everything.
Libraries integration
Waffer intrnally stores configuration as large array. By design every library using Waffer should register it's settings under own namespace key as shown below.
