accessing data in /proc using an linux API

I want to write a C program which accesses process information(pid no,tty,etc) using an API. I know how to access the information directly from /proc using system calls(fread(),fopen(),etc). what I want to do is to access the /proc data structure using an API since it makes my program version independent. Also if possible tell me other ways to access /proc data structurs.
