This page provides a list of missing and found libraries for solving common real world programmer tasks.

If you think there should be a library for some common task, add it to this page, and someone may well step up and write it. If you know of a library to solve an open problem domain, link to it.

Missing libraries (by problem domain)

Add any common problem areas for which libraries are missing.

Could be improved

Problems with existing solutions, that could be improved.

Binary support
Simple process forking/popen

Existing libraries (by problem domain)

GUIs

See GUI libraries

High performance string IO

See String libraries

Binary IO

See Binary IO

Compression

See Compressing data

Encryption

See Crypto libraries

Web frameworks

See Web frameworks

XML processing

See XML handling

Database access

See Databases

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