# Dr. Chaos
A powerful and easy-to-use fuzzing framework in Nim for C/C++/Obj-C targets.
Fuzzing is an automated bug finding technique, where randomized inputs are fed to a target

find edge cases and trigger bugs more effectively.

- Polymorphic types, missing serialization support.
- References with cycles. A `.noFuzz` custom pragma will be added soon for cursors.
## Why choose Dr. Chaos
Dr. Chaos has several advantages over solutions derived from
[FuzzDataProvider](https://github.com/google/fuzzing/blob/master/docs/split-inputs.md)
which strugle with dynamic types that in particular are nested.

has to say.
