This page provides:

• A list of missing libraries for particular problem domains
• And a list of found libraries that solve a particular problem

If you think there should be a library for some task, add it to this page, and someone may well step up and write it.

Contents 1 High performance string IO 1.1 Data.ByteString 2 Binary IO 2.1 NewBinary 3 Web frameworks 3.1 HAppS 4 Database access 4.1 HDBC 4.2 HaskellDB 4.3 Takusen 5 GUI 5.1 Gtk2Hs 5.2 wxHaskell

1 High performance string IO

1.1 Data.ByteString

Home	[1]
Author	Don Stewart
Stability	good
Availability	Part of the base package in Hugs and GHC > 6.5
Supports	Fast strings of bytes (not unicode), lazy bytestrings larger than memory. Has been used on terabyte data sources

2 Binary IO

2.1 NewBinary

Home	[2]
Author
Stability	good
Availability	An external package.
Supports	Serialisation of data types to and from a binary representation, and to disk.

3 Web frameworks

3.1 HAppS

4 Database access

4.1 HDBC

4.2 HaskellDB

4.3 Takusen

5 GUI

5.1 Gtk2Hs

5.2 wxHaskell

Add more problem domains that you feel we need libraries for!
