The pipes library is a clean and powerful stream processing library that lets you build and connect reusable streaming components.
Use pipes to create elegant streaming programs within Haskell. Build streaming components and connect them them together to process both events and data.

The pipes library is a clean and powerful stream processing library that lets you build and connect reusable streaming components.

Libraries

Pipes is the official Hackage category for the pipes ecosystem.

pipes

The pipes package is the core library which provides reusable primitives for stream programming. Use these as building blocks for more sophisticated streaming abstractions.

pipes-safe

The pipes-safe package adds resource management and exception safety to the pipes ecosystem. Use pipes-safe to safely acquire and release resources deterministically within a pipeline.

pipes-concurrency

The pipes-concurrency package adds concurrency primitives to the pipes ecosystem with built-in deadlock safety. Use these primitives to:

  • Build reactive event-driven programs
  • Merge and broadcast streams
  • Communicate between multiple concurrent pipelines

pipes-parse

The pipes-parse package defines the generic machinery necessary for common parsing tasks. Use pipes-parse to:

  • handle leftovers and end of input,
  • interrupt and resume streaming, and
  • sub-divide streams without collecting elements in memory.
