)

func main() {
    doc := aam.Parse("host = localhost\nport = 8080")
    defer doc.Free()
    
    fmt.Println(doc.FindObj("host"))
}
```

### Documentation

```c
#include "aam.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    AamlHandle* handle = aam_new();
    aam_parse(handle, "host = localhost\nport = 8080");
    
    const char* host = aam_find_obj(handle, "host");
    printf("Host: %s\n", host);
    
    aam_string_free(host);
    aam_free(handle);
    return 0;
}
```

### Documentation

- See [C README](examples/c/)

## Rust

### Quick Start

```toml
[dependencies]
aam-rs = "1.4"
```

```rust
use aam_rs::AAML;

fn main() {
    let aaml = AAML::parse("host = localhost\nport = 8080").unwrap();
    println!("host: {}", aaml.find_obj("host").unwrap());
}
