Bundled libraries
BH is bundled with a set of standard libraries, that serve a general purpose in Scheme software development. Please note however that BH in itself is completely independent of the bundled libraries, and can be separated from them without any modifications.
The bundled libraries include:
- SRFI 1 (list processing), 13 (string), 14 (character sets), 16 (case-lambda support), 19 (time data types and procedures), 95 (sorting)
- pregexp, hash digestion, base64 handling, UUID generator
- HTTP client, server, URI and session variable handling
- XML<->SXML routines
- FIFO queue, mailbox, weight balanced tree, erlang-style list matcher
- String, u8vector, list, exception handling helper libraries
- let-optionals support
See the documentation for more information.
