Haxe

Haxe is an application that was created in order to offer users a comprehensive toolkit that could help them build their preferred games, applications, tools or even frameworks.

It will offer them a strictly-typed programming language, a cross-compiler and a complete cross-platform standard library whose native capabilities can be easily accessed. In addition to these three features, Haxe also comes packed with several extra features, which can be used for developing and distributing cross-platform tools.

The included programming language is high-level strictly typed and is used by the Haxe compiler in order to produce cross-platform native code. Those who are already familiarized with Java, C++, PHP, A3 or similar object-oriented languages will have no trouble in learning the Haxe programming language.

It was designed specifically in order to adapt the various platforms’ native behaviors and offer an efficient cross-platform development.

The Haxe compiler will translate the Haxe programming language to the target platform native source code or binaries. Being highly efficient, it can compile thousands of classes in a very short time.

By using the provided Haxe standard library, one can expect to find a set of highly-tested APIs which enable complete cross-platform behavior. This means that users will be able to perform data structuring, mathematics and dates, serialization, reflection, cryptography, database access and others.

Since it also includes platform-specific APIs, the Haxe standard library will offer access to important platform capabilities, which can be easily extended.
