Its design goals are composability and simplicity.\n\nAmong many things, it implements an asynchronous event loop, and several network protocols, such as HTTP / IRC / TLS.\n\nOverview\n========\n\nThe library is split into the following packages:\n\n * `ae.demo` – This package contains a few demos for various parts of the library.\n * `ae.net` – All the networking code (event loop, HTTP, NNTP, IRC) lives here.\n * `ae.sys` – Utility code which primarily interfaces with other systems (including the operating system).\n * `ae.ui` – Framework for creating 2D games and graphical applications (SDL, OpenGL).\n * `ae.utils` – Utility code which primarily manipulates data.\n\nNotable sub-packages:\n\n * `ae.sys.d` – Builds arbitrary versions of D. Shared by Digger, DAutoTest, and TrenD.\n * `ae.sys.net` – High-level synchronous API for accessing network resources (URLs). Includes implementations based on cURL, WinINet, and `ae.net`.\n * `ae.utils.functor` – Functor primitives and functions, allowing `@nogc` range manipulation and text formatting.\n * `ae.utils.graphics` – Contains a templated graphical context optimized for speed, and basic support for a few image formats.\n * `ae.utils.promise` – Implementation of Promises/A+, `async`/`await`, and related operations. Can be used on top of the `ae.net` asynchronous API.\n * `ae.utils.time` – Supplements `core.time` and `std.datetime` with extras such as PHP-like parsing / formatting and floating-point duration operations.\n\nGeneral concepts:\n\n- **Data**: Many modules that handle raw data (from the network / disk) do so using the `Data` structure, defined in `ae.sys.data`.\n  See the module documentation for a description of the type; the quick version is that it is a type equivalent to `void[]`, with a few benefits.\n  Some modules use `DataVec`, a `Data` vector with deterministic lifetime, to minimize copying / reallocations when handling byte streams with unknown length.\n\n- **Networking**: *ae* uses asynchronous event-based networking.\n  A `select`-based event loop dispatches events to connection objects, which then propagate them to higher-level code as necessary.\n  `libev` support is also available.\n\n- **UI**: The `ae.ui` package contains basic support for cross-platform interactive applications using SDL.\n  There is a working game demo in `ae.demo.pewpew`.\n\nWhat uses this library?\n=======================\n\n- [DFeed](https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed) (forum.dlang.org) - networking, SQLite\n- [Digger](https://github.com/CyberShadow/Digger) - `ae.sys.d`\n- [DAutoTest](https://github.com/CyberShadow/DAutoTest) - `ae.sys.d`, web server\n- [btdu](https://github.com/CyberShadow/btdu) - utility functions, duration parsing, functors\n- [monocre](https://github.com/CyberShadow/monocre) - image processing\n- Community WormNET services for Worms Armageddon ([web snooper](https://snoop.wormnet.net/), community server, [HostingBuddy](https://worms2d.info/HostingBuddy))\n- Most of [my D projects](https://github.com/CyberShadow?language=d\u0026tab=repositories\u0026type=source)\n- [Find more uses on GitHub](https://github.com/search?l=D\u0026q=%22import+ae%22\u0026type=Code)\n\nDocumentation\n=============\n\nYou may peruse the documentation generated from DDoc on [ae.dpldocs.info](https://ae.dpldocs.info/).\n\nOther ways to get started with this library is to:\n\n- Play with the demo programs (in the `demo` directory)\n- Look at open-source projects using this library (see above)\n- Use your editor's \"go to definition\" feature to navigate the implementation.\n\nUsing this library\n==================\n\n- If you are using Dub, simply add a dependency to `ae` (or a subpackage) in your project.\n\n  The main package has no additional dependencies, with the rest of the library being split out into sub-packages which have additional dependencies (such as OpenSSL).\n\n  See `dub.sdl` for details.\n\n- If you are not using Dub, note that this library has multiple entry points and many optional dependencies, so compiling and linking all `*.d` files into a single library will not work.\n  In this circumstance, the best way is to simply use recursive compilation (`rdmd` or `dmd -i`).\n\n  You can achieve strong versioning and avoid configuring compiler import paths by setting it up as a git submodule in your project's root, as seen [here](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ForumAntiSpam).\n\nVersioning\n==========\n\nThere are currently no stable/development branches, and versioning is done only according to the number of commits in `master`.\n\nBreaking changes are prefixed with `[BREAKING]` in the commit message. \nEach such commit includes a rationale and instructions for updating affected code.\n\nTags are created regularly for the benefit of Dub packages (e.g. [Digger](https://github.com/CyberShadow/Digger/blob/master/dub.sdl)).\n\nThe bleeding-edge version can be found in the `next` branch (which may be regularly force-pushed).\n\nLicense\n=======\n\nExcept where stated otherwise, this library is licensed under the [Mozilla Public License, v. 2.0](http://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/).\n(Approximate summary: you only need to publish the source code of the files from this library that you edited.)\n\nModules under licenses other than MPL are:\n\n- `ae.utils.digest_murmurhash3` - D port of a C MurmurHash3 implementation. **Public Domain**.\n- `ae.utils.graphics.fonts.font8x8` - Data for an 8x8 bitmap font created by Daniel Hepper. **Public Domain**.\n- `ae.utils.graphics.hls` - Code to convert between RGB and HLS.
