I want to build a comprehensive list of D language libraries to be used as a reference.
This collection has the intent to help developers find a suitable library for the work and decrease the amount of effort in writing new software.
For any question or contribution, reache me via github pull requests and issues.
New libraries and corrections Submissions of new libraries: I accept submissions (as issues or as pull requests). Please
note that description and last update is optional (for libraries that are hosted on github)
because a script updates it once a day.
Corrections: if information for a library above is wrong, please send a correction as an
issue, pull request, or email.
Categories: I am open to discussions on the current categorization method. Reach to me on github.
This list aims to collect libraries of high quality. Unfortunately I don't have time to test all of them exhaustively.
If any library does not meet expected requirements (bugs, no tests, no documentation, outdated) open an issue
Once a library is removed the name will be moved to removed.md with the hope that they will be corrected by original manteiners or forks.
Also you might be interested in other related, but different lists:
