FS2: Functional Streams for Scala
Overview
FS2 is a library for purely functional, effectful, and polymorphic stream processing library in the Scala programming language. Its design goals are compositionality, expressiveness, resource safety, and speed. The name is a modified acronym for Functional Streams for Scala (FSS, or FS2).
FS2 is available for Scala 2.12, Scala 2.13, Scala 3, and Scala.js and Scala Native.
FS2 is built upon two major functional libraries for Scala, Cats, and Cats-Effect.
Regardless of those dependencies, FS2 core types (streams and pulls) are polymorphic in the effect type (as long as it is compatible with cats-effect typeclasses),
and thus FS2 can be used with other effect libraries, such as Monix.
Getting Started
Quick links:
Documentation and getting help
- There are Scaladoc API documentations for the library.
- The official guide is a good starting point for learning more about the library.
- The documentation page is intended to serve as a list of all references, including conference presentation recordings, academic papers, and blog posts, on the use and implementation of
fs2. - The FAQ has frequently asked questions. Feel free to open issues or PRs with additions to the FAQ!
- Also feel free to come discuss and ask/answer questions in the Typelevel Discord channel and/or on StackOverflow using the tag FS2. Discord will generally get you a quicker answer.
