Hackage :: [Package]

haxl: A Haskell library for efficient, concurrent, and concise data access.

[ bsd3, concurrency, library ] [ Propose Tags ]

Haxl is a library and EDSL for efficient scheduling of concurrent data accesses with a concise applicative API.

To use Haxl, you need to implement one or more data sources, which provide the means for accessing remote data or other I/O that you want to perform using Haxl.

Haxl provides two top-level modules:

  • Data-source implementations import Haxl.Core,

  • Client code import your data sources and Haxl.Prelude, or some other client-level API that you provide.

Haxl Logo

Haxl

Haxl is a Haskell library that simplifies access to remote data, such as databases or web-based services. Haxl can automatically

  • batch multiple requests to the same data source,
  • request data from multiple data sources concurrently,
  • cache previous requests.

Having all this handled for you behind the scenes means that your data-fetching code can be much cleaner and clearer than it would otherwise be if it had to worry about optimizing data-fetching. We'll give some examples of how this works in the pages linked below.

There are two Haskell packages here:

  • haxl: The core Haxl framework
  • haxl-facebook (in example/facebook): An (incomplete) example data source for accessing the Facebook Graph API

To use Haxl in your own application, you will likely need to build one or more data sources: the thin layer between Haxl and the data that you want to fetch, be it a database, a web API, a cloud service, or whatever. The haxl-facebook package shows how we might build a Haxl data source based on the existing fb package for talking to the Facebook Graph API.
