This is the documentation for the Scala standard library.
Package structureThe scala package contains core types like Int
, Float
, Array
or Option
which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.
Notable packages include:
scala.collection
and its sub-packages contain Scala's collections framework
scala.collection.immutable
- Immutable, sequential data-structures such as Vector
, List
, Range
, HashMap
or HashSet
scala.collection.mutable
- Mutable, sequential data-structures such as ArrayBuffer
, StringBuilder
, HashMap
or HashSet
scala.collection.concurrent
- Mutable, concurrent data-structures such as TrieMap
scala.collection.parallel.immutable
- Immutable, parallel data-structures such as ParVector
, ParRange
, ParHashMap
or ParHashSet
scala.collection.parallel.mutable
- Mutable, parallel data-structures such as ParArray
, ParHashMap
, ParTrieMap
or ParHashSet
scala.concurrent
- Primitives for concurrent programming such as Futures
and Promises
scala.io
- Input and output operationsscala.math
- Basic math functions and additional numeric types like BigInt
and BigDecimal
scala.sys
- Interaction with other processes and the operating systemscala.util.matching
- Regular expressionsOther packages exist. See the complete list on the right.
Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:
scala.reflect
- Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)scala.xml
- XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)scala.swing
- A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)scala.util.parsing
- Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)Identifiers in the scala package and the scala.Predef
object are always in scope by default.
Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example, List
is an alias for scala.collection.immutable.List
.
Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM, String
is an alias for java.lang.String
.
