Deno: Standard Libraries Overview

Image for post

Deno comes with a set of standard libraries to help developers and make their lives easier. I felt it is inspired by languages like Go and Python. Despite being pretty young Deno's standard library is pretty extensive. These libraries are Deno-approved and don’t have any other external dependencies.

List of Deno’s standard libraries:

  • archive tar archive utilities
  • async async utilities
  • bytes helpers to manipulate bytes slices
  • datetime date/time parsing
  • encoding encoding/decoding for various formats
  • flags parse command-line flags
  • fmt formatting and printing
  • fs file system API
  • hash crypto lib
  • http HTTP server
  • io I/O lib
  • log logging utilities
  • mime support for multipart data
  • node Node.js compatibility layer
  • path path manipulation
  • ws websockets

In the upcoming blog posts, we will dig deeper into these standard libraries. We will use some of the core libraries and see how they help developers to build apps faster and easier.

Thanks for reading. If you have some feedback, please reach out to me on Twitter or Github.
