In the context of the C or C++ programming languages, a library is called header-only if the full definitions of all macros, functions and classes comprising the library are visible to the compiler in a header file form, with no separate implementation files or precompiled binaries. Header-only libraries do not need to be separately compiled, packaged and installed in order to be used.
