Operations on UTF8 strings. Most of the operations are optimized for speed so they might still succeed on some malformed UTF8 string. The only function that completely check the UTF8 format is [utf8_validate]. Other functions might raise some exception or not depending on the malformed data.
A seeded pseudo-random generator
TCP and UDP sockets
Mathematical functions
MD5 digest functions
The file api can be used for different kind of file I/O.
Int32 api is deprecated as of Neko 2.0, which have native support for Int32.
Date are using standard C functions in order to manipulate a 32 bit integer. Dates are then represented as the number of seconds elapsed since 1st January 1970.
An API for starting and communication with sub processes.
Some useful functions dealing with string manipulation.
An API for reflexion of Neko bytecode modules.
A buffer can store any value as a string and will only allocate the total needed space when requested. It makes a copy of each value when stored so modifying them after is not a problem.
Misc. functions for different usages.
An API to create and manager system threads and locks.
Interactions with the operating system.
The standard event-driven XML parser.
An API for memory manipulation and statistics.
Serialization can be used in order to store permanantly some runtime value. Serialization of all values is possible, except Abstracts, with the special cases of ['int32] and ['hash] which are handled as specific cases.
Serialization of bytecode function is possible, but will result in a runtime exception when deserializing if the function offset in the bytecode has changed.
You can define the __serialize method of an object. When this method is found when serializing the object, it is called with no arguments and its return value will be serialized. The name of the module the method is declared in will also be serialized. When unserializing, the module is loaded and its __unserialize exported function is called with the value that was returned by __serialize.
Sqlite is a small embeddable SQL database that store all its data into a single file. See http://sqlite.org for more details.
