Open Source Scala Formats and Protocols for Windows

Airframe is an essential building block for developing applications in Scala, including logging, object serialization using JSON or MessagePack, dependency injection, HTTP server/client with RPC support, functional testing with AirSpec, etc. Airframe RPC supports seamless integration of servers and clients using Scala as RPC interfaces. AirSpec is a simple unit testing framework for Scala and Scala.js. You can use public methods in your classes as test cases. There is no need to remember complex DSLs for writing tests in Scala. Retrying HTTP requests for API calls is an essential technique for connecting microservices. airframe-control will provide essential tools for making your requests reliable with exponential backoff retry, jitter, circuit-breaker, rate control, etc. airframe-fluentd supports logging your metrics to fluentd in a type-safe manner. You just need to send your case classes as metrics for fluentd.

Finagle is an extensible RPC system for the JVM, used to construct high-concurrency servers. Finagle implements uniform client and server APIs for several protocols, and is designed for high performance and concurrency. Most of Finagle’s code is protocol agnostic, simplifying the implementation of new protocols. Finagle is written in Scala, but provides both Scala and Java idiomatic APIs. Finagle is a protocol-agnostic, asynchronous RPC system for the JVM that makes it easy to build robust clients and servers in Java, Scala, or any JVM-hosted language. We set out to develop a single implementation of the basic components of network servers and clients that could be used for all of our protocols. Finagle is a protocol-agnostic, asynchronous Remote Procedure Call (RPC) system for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that makes it easy to build robust clients and servers in Java, Scala, or any JVM-hosted language.

The term "jawn" comes from the Philadelphia area. It conveys about as much information as "thing" does. I chose the name because I had moved to Montreal so I remembered Philly fondly. Also, there isn't a better way to describe objects encoded in JSON than "things". Finally, we get a catchy slogan. Jawn was designed to parse JSON into an AST as quickly as possible. Currently, Jawn is competitive with the fastest Java JSON libraries (GSON and Jackson) and in the author's benchmarks, it often wins. It seems to be faster than any other Scala parser that exists (as of July 2014).

ZIO Json is a fast and secure JSON library with tight ZIO integration. The goal of this project is to create the best all-round JSON library for Scala. Extreme performance is achieved by decoding JSON directly from the input source into business objects (docs/inspired by plokhotnyuk). Although not a requirement, the latest advances in Java Loom can be used to support arbitrarily large payloads with near-zero overhead. Best-in-class security is achieved with an aggressive early exit strategy that avoids costly stack traces, even when parsing malformed numbers. Malicious (and badly formed) payloads are rejected before finishing reading.

akka-http-json provides JSON (un)marshalling support for Akka HTTP. Use respective support trait or object, e.g. ArgonautSupport, FailFastCirceSupport, etc. into your Akka HTTP code which is supposed to (un)marshal from/to JSON. Don't forget to provide the type class instances for the respective JSON libraries, if needed.

circe is a JSON library for Scala (and Scala.js).

Scala macros for compile-time generation of safe and ultra-fast JSON codecs. This library had started from macros that reused jsoniter (json-iterator) for Java reader and writer but then the library evolved to have its own core of mechanics for parsing and serialization. The idea to generate codecs by Scala macros and main details was borrowed from Kryo Macros and adapted for the needs of the JSON domain. Validate parsed values safely with the fail-fast approach and clear reporting, provide configurable limits for suboptimal data structures with safe defaults to be resilient for DoS attacks, generate codecs that create instances of a fixed set of classes during parsing to avoid RCE attacks.

A tool that will let you generate an xml document based on a schema (xsd). This is a tool I initially developped at work but found it so useful that I decided to rewrite it completely so that I could get my hands free for publishing it.

spray-json is a lightweight, clean and efficient JSON implementation in Scala.
