stb is an open source collection of single-file C libraries created by Sean Barrett (nothings) for graphics, image loading, and utility functions. The repository provides lightweight, public domain libraries that can be easily integrated into projects without external dependencies or complex build processes. Popular components include stb_image.h for image loading, stb_image_write.h for writing images, and stb_truetype.h for font rendering. These libraries are widely used in game development, graphics engines, and multimedia applications due to their simplicity and portability. The project emphasizes ease of use, minimalism, and performance while avoiding bloated frameworks. Maintained and supported by the open source community, stb has become a standard toolkit for C and C++ developers working with images and graphics.
