Awesome Pascal

A curated list of awesome Delphi, FreePascal and other *Pascal frameworks, libraries, resources, and shiny things. Inspired by awesome-xxx stuff.

Note that only open-source projects are considered. Dead projects (not updated for 3 years or more) must be really awesome or unique to be included.

Feel free to suggest other missing nice projects either by comments or pull requests.

:exclamation: Note on compiler compatibility. There are compiler/language dialect compatibility badges for all projects based on a project's description. No real compatibility with compilers not officially supported is checked. Often a code could be used with non-supported compiler/language dialect with minor modifications but there could be exceptions.

:exclamation: Note on features contained in big projects. There are plenty of big projects in the list that contain many features deserving to be noted in the corresponding sections. For example, a HTTP server could have JSON parser, logger, command line parser, DB access classes and so on. For really big code base duplicated entry in specific sections is allowed linking to a section with main description. However to reduce duplication additional features are more usually listed in comments. So if you're looking for some feature don't forget to search by key words through the whole list in additon to inspecting the corresponding section. Also feel free to suggest additions of available features in big projects to help others find what they want.

General Libraries

Big general-purpose libraries

• JCL. [Delphi] [FPC] Set of thoroughly tested and fully documented utility functions and non-visual classes which can be instantly reused in your Delphi and C++ Builder projects. The library is grouped into several categories such as Strings, Files and I/O, Security, Math and many, many more.

• JVCL. [Delphi] Library of over 600 Delphi components developed by "Project JEDI" members.

// GUI, algorithms, classes, API headers etc.

• Alcinoe (mirror at GH). [Delphi] Library of visual and non-visual components for Delphi.

// Network: FTP/Http/NNTP/POP3/SMTP, ISAPI, WinInet Http/FTP clients; DB: Firebird/MySQL/SQLite3/Memcached/MongoDb/SphinxQL; XML/JSON Parser; ZLIB; Cryptography: AES, Blowfish, MD5, SHA, secure keyed MD5/SHA; opengl video player; FireMonkey controls; Other: Self-Balancing Binary Trees, expression evaluator

• Fundamentals Code Library (abandoned, more recent fork is here - though it slightly differs in units set, f.ex. no XML. Recent major version 5 here). [Delphi] [FPC] Collection of Delphi / FreePascal code units. Includes libraries for Unicode, Strings, Data Structures, Sockets and Mathematics.

// Utils: ZLIB compression; JSON; XML; ProtocolBuffers; Unicode routines; data structures; Hashes: XOR, CRC, Adler, MD5, SHA, secure keyed MD5/SHA, etc; Network: blocking TCP client/server, HTTP(S) via SSL3/TLS1.0/TLS1.1/TLS1.2 (fully native); SQL parser; BitCoin MtGox client; Blaise script engine; Cipher: AES, DES, FUNE, RC2, RC4, RSA, Diffie-Hellman; Maths: matrix, complex, statistics, huge numbers

• Spring4D. [Delphi] Open-source code library for Embarcadero Delphi 2010 and higher. It consists of a number of different modules that contain a base class library (common types, interface based collection types, reflection extensions) and a dependency injection framework. Includes Encryption Library.
