Package arsd-official on DUB

Subpackage collection for web, database, terminal ui, gui, scripting, and more with a commitment to long-term compatibility and stability. Use individual subpackages instead of the overall package to avoid bringing in things you don't need/want!

To use this package, run the following command in your project's root directory:

- Email helper library, both sending MIME messages and parsing incoming mbox/maildir messages

- Various image file format support - PNG read/write, JPEG, TGA, BMP, PCX, TGA, DDS read.

- web server library with cgi, fastcgi, scgi, and embedded http server support

- MySQL client library. Wraps the official C library with my database.d interface.

- Postgresql client library. Wraps the libpq C library with my database.d interface.

- sqlite wrapper. Wraps the official C library with my database.d interface.

- Microsoft SQL Server client library. Wraps the official ODBC library with my database.d interface.

- HTTP client library. Depends on OpenSSL right now on all platforms. On 32 bit Windows, you may need to get OMF openssl lib and dlls (ask me if you can't find it)

- Javascript-like object in D, capable of json read/write/manipulation.

- Cross-platform Terminal I/O with color, mouse support, real time input, etc.

- A terminal emulation core as an in-memory library. Also includes mixin templates to assist with creating UIs, etc.

- Basic database interface definitions. Use one (or more) of the drivers like arsd-official:mysql or arsd-official:postgres instead

- My DEPRECATED event loop. Do NOT use in new programs, only offered here because I use it in a lot of old programs.

- Archive file support - tar, tar.xz decoders, and custom format "arcz" encoding and decoding. Self-contained.

About

This is a collection of modules that I've released over the years (the oldest module in here was originally written in 2006, pre-D1!) for a wide variety of purposes. Most of them stand alone, or have just one or two dependencies in here, so you don't have to download this whole repo. Feel free to email me, [email protected] or ping me as adam_d_ruppe on the #d IRC channel if you want to ask me anything.

I'm always adding to it, but my policy on dependencies means you can ignore what you don't need. I am also committed to long-term support. Even the obsolete modules I haven't used for years I usually keep compiling at least, and the ones I do use I am very hesitant to break backward compatibility on. My semver increases are very conservative.

See the full list of (at least slightly) documented module here: http://arsd-official.dpldocs.info/arsd.html and refer to https://code.dlang.org/packages/arsd-official for the list of dub-enabled subpackages.

Thanks go to Nick Sabalausky, Trass3r, Stanislav Blinov, ketmar, maartenvd, and many others over the years for input and patches.

Several of the modules are also ports of other C code, see the comments in those files for their original authors.

Conventions

Many http-based functions in the lib also support unix sockets as an alternative to tcp.

With cgi.d, use

--host unix:/path/here

or, on Linux:

--host abstract:/path/here

after compiling with -version=embedded_httpd_thread to serve http on the given socket. (abstract: does a unix socket in the Linux-specific abstract namespace).

With http2.d, use

Uri("http://whatever_host/path?args").viaUnixSocket("/path/here")

any time you are constructing a client. Note that navigateTo may lose the unix socket unless you specify it again.
