Standard library
Oak comes with a growing standard library for quickly writing scripts and building small apps. The standard library also serves as an example of what idiomatic Oak code looks like.
Oak's standard library is covered by the same stability guarantee as the rest of the language — after Oak 1.0, documented APIs in the standard library will not have breaking changes.
| std | core functions, iteration, and control flow |
| str | functions for working with characters and strings |
| math | mathematical constants and operators, algebraic functions, and utilities for working in 2D/3D |
| sort | list sorting algorithms; currently quicksort |
| random | functions for working with insecure, pseudorandom sources of randomness |
| fs | ergonomic filesystem APIs for reading and writing to files and directories |
| fmt | formatted printing using "{{ N }}"-style format strings |
| json | JSON parser and serializer for Oak values |
| datetime | utilities for working with human-readable dates and UNIX timestamps |
| path | functions for working with UNIX style paths in file systems and URIs |
| http | a toolkit for writing HTTP servers, routers, and services |
| test | basic unit testing library, used by Oak's language and standard library tests |
| debug | tools for inspecting runtime values, including a pretty-printer for structured data |
| cli | a toolkit for writing command-line Oak apps, including a parser for CLI arguments |
| md | Markdown parsing and rendering |
| crypto | utilities for working with cryptographic primitives and cryptographically safe sources of randomness |
| syntax | tokenizer, parser, and code formatter for the Oak language |
