+I'm continually re-writing some C++ code to read [Matrix Market files](https://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/formats.html), a common format for distributing matrices.
+I finally got around to writing something that I should be able to reuse.
+
+The code is [available on github](github.com/cwpearson/matrix-market).
+
+An example follows:
+
+```c++
+#include "mm/mm.hpp"
+
+int main(int argc, char **argv)
+{
+    if (argc < 2)
+    {
+        std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <file.mtx>\n";
+        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+    }
+    const std::string path = argv[1];
+
+    {
+        std::cout << "with Ordinal=int, Scalar=float, Offset=size_t" << std::endl;
+        typedef int Ordinal;
+        typedef float Scalar;
+        typedef MtxReader<Ordinal, Scalar> reader_t;
+        typedef typename reader_t::coo_type coo_t;
+        typedef typename coo_t::entry_type entry_t;
+
+        // read matrix as coo
+        reader_t reader(path);
+        coo_t coo = reader.read_coo();
+
+        // non-zeros, rows, cols
+        std::cout << coo.nnz() << std::endl;                               // size_t
+        std::cout << coo.num_rows() << "," << coo.num_cols() << std::endl; // int
+
+        // first entry
+        entry_t e = coo.entries[0];
+        std::cout << e.i << "," << e.j << std::endl; // int, int
+        std::cout << e.e << std::endl;               // float
+    }
+
+    {
+        std::cout << "with Ordinal=int64_t, Scalar=std::complex<float>, Offset=int" << std::endl;
+        typedef MtxReader<int64_t, std::complex<float>, int> reader_t;
+        typedef typename reader_t::coo_type coo_t;
+        typedef typename coo_t::entry_type entry_t;
+
+        // read matrix as coo
+        reader_t reader(path);
+        coo_t coo = reader.read_coo();
+
+        // non-zeros, rows, cols
+        std::cout << coo.nnz() << std::endl;                               // int
+        std::cout << coo.num_rows() << "," << coo.num_cols() << std::endl; // complex<double>
+
+        // first entry
+        entry_t e = coo.entries[0];
+        std::cout << e.i << "," << e.j << std::endl; // int64_t
+        std::cout << e.e << std::endl;               // complex<double>
+    }
+    return 0;
+}
+```
