[Gpephone-devel] libsettings

[YU Yijun RD-ILAB-PEK]

Hi,

May we consider to reuse Global setting of Access Hiker Application Framework here?  It has similar functionalities with similar APIs, but more features. I think there is no reason to fork a new component with the same functionalities in the open source community.

Hiker Application Framework Global setting has a full featured APIs, including:
1. APIs to create and delete a node
2. APIs to get values of different data types
3. APIs to get keys of different data types (Not only string type)
4. APIs to set notification
5. APIs to iterate keys

For detailed info about Access Hiker application framework, we can refer to 
http://www.access-company.com/about/opensource/download.html

Regards
Yu Yijun
