  Package structure

  The scala package contains core types like Int, Float, Array or Option which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.

  Notable packages include:

  • scala.collection and its sub-packages contain Scala's collections framework
    • scala.collection.immutable - Immutable, sequential data-structures such as Vector, List, Range, HashMap or HashSet
    • scala.collection.mutable - Mutable, sequential data-structures such as ArrayBuffer, StringBuilder, HashMap or HashSet
    • scala.collection.concurrent - Mutable, concurrent data-structures such as TrieMap
  • scala.concurrent - Primitives for concurrent programming such as Futures and Promises
  • scala.io - Input and output operations
  • scala.math - Basic math functions and additional numeric types like BigInt and BigDecimal
  • scala.sys - Interaction with other processes and the operating system
  • scala.util.matching - Regular expressions

  Other packages exist. See the complete list on the right.

  Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:

  • scala.reflect - Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)
  • scala.xml - XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)
  • scala.collection.parallel - Parallel collections (scala-parallel-collections.jar)
  • scala.util.parsing - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)
  • scala.swing - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)

  Automatic imports

  Identifiers in the scala package and the scala.Predef object are always in scope by default.

  Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example, List is an alias for scala.collection.immutable.List.

  Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM, String is an alias for java.lang.String.

•  object FutureConverters

  This object provides extension methods that convert between Scala Future and Java CompletionStage

  This object provides extension methods that convert between Scala Future and Java CompletionStage

  When writing Java code, use the explicit conversion methods defined in javaapi.FutureConverters instead.

  Note that the bridge is implemented at the read-only side of asynchronous handles, namely Future (instead of scala.concurrent.Promise) and CompletionStage (instead of java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture). This is intentional, as the semantics of bridging the write-handles would be prone to race conditions; if both ends (CompletableFuture and Promise) are completed independently at the same time, they may contain different values afterwards. For this reason, toCompletableFuture is not supported on the created CompletionStages.
