Slixmpp
Has the goal is to be process threadless.
Slln
slln (an abbreviation for "serialization") is focused on the generic serialization of objects (i.e., object persistence) in the C++ programming language, from PODs to STL containers to user-defined Serializable types. By taking advantage of relatively new, advanced C++ techniques s11n makes this formerly difficult task considerably easier.
Smart Pointers
The smart_ptr class can be used with STL containers to create containers of smart pointers, moreover it can be used to create a container of abstract based objects via smart_ptr. In general, smart_ptr is faster than boost::shared_ptr. When used with STL containers, the smart pointer is faster than the boost pointer containers. More importantly, the interface for an STL container of smart_ptr is a 100% compatible with STL containers, which is not the case with the boost pointer containers. smart_ptr has a policy that allows it to synchronize access to both the smart pointer and the pointee. The smart_ptr has been compiled and tested on VC++ 6.0, 7.1, 8.0, GNU 3.x, Borland 5.5, and Comeau 4.3.
Smarteiffel
SmartEiffel is a research and free software project that provides the Eiffel community with a mature and free compiler, an extensive and entirely object-oriented class library and a set of Eiffel-specific tools needed for a complete development environment, as an Eiffel-level symbolic debugger or a documentation tool.
Social Heckert gnu.tiny.png
GNU social gives you a powerful social network that is federated. GNU social is a social networking platform. It helps people in a community, company or group to exchange short status updates, do polls, announce events, or other social activities (and you can add more!). Users can choose which people to "follow" and receive only their friends' or colleagues' status messages. It provides a similar service to proprietary social network sites, but is much more awesome. With a little work, status messages can be sent to mobile phones, instant messenger programs (using XMPP), and specially-designed desktop clients that support the Twitter API. GNU social supports an open standard called OStatus that lets users in different networks follow each other. It enables a distributed social network spread all across the Web.

Speechd-el
'speechd-el' is a complete speech output system for Emacs. It provides an Emacs Lisp library for easy access to a selected subset of Speech Dispatcher functions, and, using that library, provides speech support for Emacs to Emacs users. It can make Emacs either a completely speech enabled application suitable for visually impaired users or it can speak only in certain situations or when asked. Users need not customize each particular Emacs function to make it speak; most built-in and external Emacs packages produce speech output immediately, without any special support. Almost no change of standard Emacs behavior, and no interference with user settings. The package cooperates fully with Speech Dispatcher.
Speex Heckert gnu.tiny.png,
The Speex project aims to build a patent-free voice codec. Unlike codecs like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, Speex is specially designed for compressing voice at low bit-rates (in the 8-32 kbps/channel range) for applications such as voice over IP (VoIP). Other possible applications include Internet audio streaming at low bit-rate, and archiving of speech data (e.g. voice mail).

Src-highlite Heckert gnu.tiny.png
Source-highlight reads source language specifications dynamically, thus it can be easily extended (without recompiling the sources) for handling new languages. It also reads output format specifications dynamically, and thus it can be easily extended (without recompiling the sources) for handling new output formats. The syntax for these specifications is quite easy (take a look at the manual). Source-highlight is a command line program, and it can also be used as a CGI. Notice that Source-highlight can also be used as a formatter (i.e., without highlighting): you can, for instance, format a txt file in HTML (and it will take care of translating special characters, such as, <, >, &). Since version 2.2, source-highlight can also generate cross references; in order to do this it relies on Exuberant Ctags. These are the output formats already supported:
  • HTML
  • XHTML
  • LATEX
  • TEXINFO
  • ANSI color escape sequences (you can use this feature with less)
  • DocBook

o proper font name
o glyph outlines
  • build simple metadata registries for run-time font matching
Tag Manager
Tag Manager is a library and a set of utility programs to help IDE developers implement features such as code completion, calltips, source browsing, etc. It is based on ctags but overcomes a few of its limitations, such as availability as a clean set of library function calls, ability to show argument list for functions and macros, etc. It is GUI independent.
  • This project is currently undergoing a complete rewrite as per the developer. The new project will be called 'SourceBase.'
TagLib
'TagLib' is a library for reading and editing the metadata of several popular audio formats. It supports ID3v1 and ID3v2 for MP3 files, Ogg Vorbis comments and ID3 tags, and Vorbis comments in FLAC files. Tests have shown it to be 6 times faster than id3lib and 3 times faster than libvorbisfile at reading tags (CPU time). It supports Unicode. TagLib offers an abstraction layer that makes it easy to ignore the differences between the different file formats and their implementations. It uses KDE-style programming conventions and C++ by default, but it does not link to either Qt or Glib (it has no external dependancies at all) and does provide Glib-style C bindings (currently for the generic API only).
TagPy
TagPy is a set of Python bindings for Scott Wheeler's TagLib. It builds upon Boost.Python, a wrapper generation library which is part of the Boost set of C++ libraries.
Talkfilters Heckert gnu.tiny.png
The GNU Talk Filters are filter programs that convert ordinary English text into text that mimics a stereotyped or otherwise humorous dialect. These filters have been in the public domain for many years, but now for the first time they are provided as a single integrated package. The filters include austro, b1ff, brooklyn, chef, cockney, drawl, dubya, fudd, funetak, jethro, jive, kraut, pansy, pirate, postmodern, redneck, valspeak, and warez. Each program reads from standard input and writes to standard output. The package also provides the filters as a C library, so they can be easily embedded in other other programs. Each program reads from standard input and writes to standard output. It also includes a patch to integrate the talk filters with the Pidgin instant messenger program.
TclCurl
'TclCurl' provides a binding for libcurl. It makes it possible to download and upload files using protocols like FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, LDAP, telnet, dict, gopher, and file.

Includes ways to measure difference from these objects and to schedule events.
Termcap Heckert gnu.tiny.png
Termcap provides a library for using terminals in programs not depending on the terminal type, and a database of known terminal types. New programs doing character-oriented terminal displays should use ncurses instead. Most of this package is also distributed with GNU Emacs(now only dos), but it is available in this separate distribution to make it easier to install as -ltermcap. However, use of termcap is discouraged. Termcap is being phased out in favor of the terminfo-based ncurses library, which contains an emulation of the termcap library routines in addition to an excellent curses implementation.
Tesseract
Tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) engine with very high accuracy. It supports many languages, output text formatting, hOCR positional information and page layout analysis. Several image formats are supported through the Leptonica library. It can also detect whether text is monospaced or proportional. This package contains an OCR engine - libtesseract and a command line program - tesseract.

Tiny SRP library
The Tiny SRP library is a stripped-down version of srp-1.7.1 and openssl-0.9.6 that contains only what is necessary for secure remote passphrase authentication. No other libraries are required. If you already have libsrp installed on both server and client then you don't need this. Tiny SRP is designed for embedded or mini distributions, and is also a quick and easy way to add secure authentication to small client/server projects. Also included is the TSRP protocol, which reduces socket authentication to one function call on each of the client and server.
TinyQ
TinyQ is a stripped down version of Qt designed for use as a backend library and containing only these classes needed for C++ development. It does not depend on X11. It provides the following features in an extremely compact library: UTF8 and ASCII strings, type optimized collections (dictionary, map, cache, vector, list), regular expressions, filesystem access, URL processing, threads, shared library handling, storing and retrieving user settings, date and time handling, DOM & SAX XML parsers, optimized data and text streams, and abstract IO devices.
TinyRML2PDF
'TinyRML2PDF' creates PDF documents. It can be used as a Python library or as a standalone program. It converts an RML (an XML dialect that defines the precise appearance of a printed document) document into a PDF document. Your existing tools generate an input file that exactly describes the layout of a printed document, and Tiny RML2PDF converts it into PDF. It is intended as an alternative to XSL:FO.
Tinyxml
TinyXML parses an XML document, and builds from that a Document Object Model (DOM) that can be read, modified, and saved. XML stands for "eXtensible Markup Language." It allows you to create your own document markups. Where HTML does a very good job of marking documents for browsers, XML allows you to define any kind of document markup, for example a document that describes a "to do" list for an organizer application. XML is a very structured and convenient format. All those random file formats created to store application data can all be replaced with XML. One parser for everything. TinyXML doesn't parse or use DTDs (Document Type Definitions) or XSLs (eXtensible Stylesheet Language.) There are other parsers out there that are much more fully featured. But they are also much bigger, take longer to set up in your project, have a higher learning curve, and often have a more restrictive license. If you are working with browsers or have more complete XML needs, TinyXML is not the parser for you. There is a newer version called TinyXML-2.
Tokyo Cabinet
Tokyo Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. The database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a key and a value. Every key and value is serial bytes with variable length. Both binary data and character string can be used as a key and a value. There is neither concept of data tables nor data types. Records are organized in hash table, B+ tree, or fixed-length array. Tokyo Cabinet is developed as the successor of GDBM and QDBM on the following purposes. They are achieved and Tokyo Cabinet replaces conventional DBM products.

Tvmet
This Tiny Vector and Matrix template library uses Meta Templates and Expression Templates (ET) to evaluate results at compile time, thus making it fast for low-end systems. The code produced is similar to hand-coded code, but its quality still depends on the compiler and its version. The dimensions for vectors and matrices are static and bounded at compile time using template arguments.
Twin
Twin is a text-mode window environment. It turns a text terminal into a X11-style display with window manager, terminal windows, and can also serve as display for remote applications. Each terminal window provides the functions of a text-mode GNU/Linux console. Twin runs on the GNU/Linux console, X11, libggi, and itself. It supports multiple simultaneous displays, and can attach/detach each display on the fly.
Txtorcon
Txtorcon is a Twisted-based Python asynchronous controller library for Tor. It includes configuration and state-tracking abstractions (all routers, circuits and streams) and utilties to launch tor, among other things. It is useful to write event-based software in Python that talks to a Tor program.
Typhoeus
Like a modern code version of the mythical beast with 100 serpent heads, Typhoeus runs HTTP requests in parallel while cleanly encapsulating handling logic. To be a little more specific, it's a library for accessing web services in Ruby. It's specifically designed for building RESTful service oriented architectures in Ruby that need to be fast enough to process calls to multiple services within the client's HTTP request/response life cycle. Some of the awesome features are parallel request execution, memoization of request responses (so you don't make the same request multiple times in a single group), built in support for caching responses to memcached (or whatever), and mocking capability baked in. It uses libcurl and libcurl-multi to work this speedy magic. I wrote the c bindings myself so it's yet another Ruby libcurl library, but with some extra awesomeness added in.
Typing
This provides a way for Python scripts to attest that a variable has a given type, according to Python PEP 0484.
UAmobile
WSGIUserAgentMobile is HTTP mobile user agent string parser. It'll be useful in parsing HTTP_USER_AGENT strings of (mainly Japanese) mobile devices.

This new protocol is not only for private or QoS-enabled links, but also for shared networks. Furthermore, UDT is also a composable framework that can accommodate various congestion control algorithms.
USTL
This library implements most of the standard C++ library with the goal of minimizing code size of client applications, achieving this goal by factoring out memory management code from the STL container templates into untyped memory block operations and modifying the templates to act only as a type-safety layer. Compared with the SGI STL implementation, shipped with gcc, using this library can reduce C++ overhead by a factor of four.
Unac
'unac' is a C library and command that removes accents from a string. For instance, the string ?t? will become ete. It provides a command line interface that removes accents from standard input or from a string given as an argument. In the library function and the command, the charset of the input is specified as an argument. The input is converted to UTF-16 using iconv(3), accents are stripped, and the result is converted back to the original charset. The iconv -l command on GNU/Linux will show all charsets supported. It currently has Perl, PHP3, and PHP4 interfaces, and is Unicode-3.2 compatible.

Wayland
Wayland is a communication protocol that specifies the communication between a display server and its clients. A display server using the Wayland protocol is called a Wayland compositor, because it additionally performs the task of a compositing window manager. The aim of Wayland is replacing the X Window System with a modern, secure, and simpler windowing system. As part of its efforts, the Wayland project also develops a reference implementation of a Wayland compositor called Weston. Major desktops such as KDE and GNOME have implemented their own Wayland compositors.
Wb Heckert gnu.tiny.png
WB is a disk based, sorted associative array (B-tree) library for SCM. Using WB, large databases can be created and managed from SCM. Rather than being implemented via hashing, WB uses B-trees, which are optimized for using the minimum number of disk operations. Functions are provided to:
  • create, destroy, open and close disk-files and associative arrays;
  • insert, delete, retrieve, find next, and find previous (with respect to dictionary order of keys);
  • apply functions, delete, or modify values over a range of consecutive key values.
WB is thread safe (so long as HAND structures are not shared between threads). The `put' and `rem' operations allow associations to be used for thread mutexs.

Dependant upon functionality and speed requirements, wolfSSL can take up as little as 21k on your device. wolfSSL's wolfCrypt module is FIPS certified if you need a FIPS solution.
WrapText
WrapText.c is a simple text wrapping function. It supports a maximum line width and two prefix strings. One for the first line and another for the remaining lines. It uses a naive, greedy to fit the most words possible on the current line. If a word is too large for any line, it gets stuffed on a line by itself.
WuGeo
WuGeo is a Python library to draw points on world maps, using latitude and longitude. Maps have to be created with Miller Projection (aka cylindrical projection).
WxWidgets
WxWidgets (previously wxWindows) is a class library for compiling graphical C++ programs on a range of different platforms. It defines a common API across platforms, but uses the native graphical user interface (GUI) on each platform, so your program has the platform's native look and feel. It comes with bindings for several other languages, of which wxPython is the most complete.
Wyatt-netsuite
Interface plugin for connection Netsuite to wyatt communications base.
XFA
The XFA library implements an API that can be used to create NFA (either programmatically or from regular expressions) and to convert them in the minimal equivalent DFA. The XFA library only requirement is an ANSI C compiler, and this makes it portable virtually over every system. The complexity of the graphs that are treatable with XFA is only limited by the amount of memory available on the machine.
XML Security Library
XML Security Library is a C library based on LibXML2. The library supports major XML security standards, including XML Signature, XML Encryption, Canonical XML, and Exclusive Canonical XML (the latter two were included in LibXML2).
XML Twig
XML::Twig is built on top of XML::Parser. It is designed to process XML efficiently, with a tree-oriented interface that builds the tree only for parts of the documents. A flush method allows dumping of a completely processed sub-document to be printed, thus allowing processing of documents of any size. It has many convenient methods to simplify XML processing. A complete tutorial is available from the home page.
XML2CSV-Generic-Converter
Java XML to CSV (XML2CSV) generic conversion facility. I made it in order to extract data from big XML files and gather them in files more easily opened with a spreadsheet. It is packaged as an auto executable Jar for convenient command line execution but might as well be interfaced directly by a Java class as part of a larger software. It handles attributes, repeated elements, and so on, and produces results which level up with what spreadsheets generate when they import native XML (at least in its most extensive execution mode).
XOSD
XOSD displays text on your screen, sounds simple right? The difference is it is unmanaged and shaped, so it appears transparent. This gives the effect of an On Screen Display, like your TV/VCR etc. It also contains an XMMS plugin and a simple example program that can display system logs overlaid on your desktop.
XRecord
XRecord is an Object-Relational Mapper - a library which provides an object interface to databases. Tables are represented as classes, columns are attributes, and rows of data are class instances. If you used Python for developing database applications you may have come across one or more ORMs.
XZ
XZ Utils consist of several components: liblzma is a compression library with API similar to that of zlib. xz is a command line tool with syntax similar to that of gzip. xzdec is a decompression-only tool smaller than the full-featured xz tool. A set of shell scripts (xzgrep, xzdiff, etc.) have been adapted from gzip to ease viewing, grepping, and comparing compressed files. Emulation of command line tools of LZMA Utils eases transition from LZMA Utils to XZ Utils. While liblzma has a zlib-like API, liblzma doesn't include any file I/O functions. A separate I/O library is planned, which would abstract handling of .gz, .bz2, and .xz files with an easy to use API.
Xapian
Xapian allows developers to add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications. It features Unicode 9.0 support, ranked searching, multiple weighting models, relevance feedback, phrase and proximity searching, structured boolean search operators, snowball stemmers, wildcard searching, synonyms, spelling corrections, faceted search, and simultaneous update and searching. It can handle large database files with ease. Projects known to use Xapian include ikiwiki, kiwix, notmuch, mu, sup, and others.
Xidel
Xidel is a command line tool to query data from HTML/XML web pages, JSON-APIs and local files. It implements interpreters for XPath 2, XPath 3, XQuery 1, XQuery 3, JSONiq, CSS selectors and custom pattern matching. XPath and CSS selectors are the most efficient way to select certain elements from XML/HTML documents. JSONiq (with custom extensions) is an easy way to select data from JSON. XQuery is a Turing-complete superset of XPath and allows arbitrary data transformations and the creation of new documents. Pattern matching is for XML/HTML documents what regular expressions are for plaintext, i.e. pattern matching behaves like a regular expression over the space of tags, instead over the space of characters. Xidel implements a kind of internal pipes to pipe HTTP requests from one query to the next, so there is no need to distinguish selecting links and downloading the data referenced by them. Therefore arbitrary complex queries going over arbitrary many pages can be executed with a single call of Xidel.
Xlrd
Xlrd is a Python module for extracting data from Excel spreadsheet files. It can be used to extract data from new and old Excel spreadsheets on any platform. The package itself is pure Python with no dependencies on modules or packages outside the standard Python distribution. It has strong support for Excel dates and is Unicode-aware.
Xls2xml
Xls2xml is a command-line Python script for converting tabular data in Excel spreadsheets into simple XML.
Xmedcon
The Medical Image Conversion library consists of a library, a command line utility, and a GUI interface for converting and manipulating medical images. It can convert between commonly used formats in (freely available) research tools, while preserving medical parameters like patient information, slice orientation, voxel dimension and pixel quantitation. The program can also read unsupported files without compression, print pixel values, or extract/reorder specified images. The library can also be used as a framework for your own image format.
Xorcist
A library to aid comparing strings to see which bits differ using the XOR operation.
Xorn
Xorn is a library to read and write gEDA files, allowing python scripts and GUI's to work on the same objects. Xorn is designed to work with Xi but can be integrated with any application that works on schematics. There is also a command-line utility with two sub-commands:
  • xorn extract – extract embedded symbols or pixmaps from a schematic
  • xorn find-symbol-by-pinout – pretty much self-explaining
YAJL Ruby
A streaming JSON parsing and encoding library for Ruby (C bindings to yajl). This gem (although not in gem form just yet) is a C binding to the excellent YAJL JSON parsing and generation library. You can read more info at the projects website http://lloydforge.org/projects/yajl
Yapsy
A simple framework for plugin system developement with as few dependencies as possible. It is designed to offer a set of very lean classes (plugin managers and plugin interfaces) which can easily be customised by decoration or inheritance.
Yarl
This library provides ways for a Python script to make an URL object and only get its parameters, encoded or not.
Yassl
The yaSSL Library version 0.9.9 includes the following:
  • SSL version 3 and TLS version 1 (client and server)
  • OpenSSL compatibility layer
  • MySQL integration
  • Initial stunnel integration
  • MD5, SHA-1, HMAC, DES, 3DES, AES, ARC4, RSA, DSS, and DH
  • Simple API
  • Interchangeable crypto and certificate libraries
  • PEM and DER certificate support
Yate- Yet Another Telephony Engine
"YATE" (Yet Another Telephony Engine) is a telephony project that is written in C++ and that will support scripting in various programming languages. It is a next-generation telephony engine; while currently focused on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and PSTN, its power lies in its ability to be easily extended. Voice, video, data and instant messenging can all be unified under Yate's flexible routing engine, maximizing communications efficiency and minimizing infrastructure costs for businesses.
Yed
Yed is a C software library made of modules (objects) instanceable according to the main paradigms of Object Oriented Programming: incapsulation and data hiding. The library contains objects that handle XML files, FTP connections, filesystem operations, etc. Yed acts only at the C compiler preprocessing level, using particular macros; therefore, using Yed objects is transparent to the compiler, so users do not have to develop additional "translation" tools that have to be run before compiling.
Yet Another JSON Library (YAJL)
Why does the world need another C library for parsing JSON? Good question. In a review of current C JSON parsing libraries I was unable to find one that satisfies my requirements. Those are:
  • 0. written in C
  • 1. portable
  • 2. robust -- as close to "crash proof" as possible
  • 3. data representation independent
  • 4. fast
  • 5. generates verbose, useful error messages including context of where the error occurs in the input text.
  • 6. can parse JSON data off a stream, incrementally
  • 7. simple to use
  • 8. tiny
  • Numbers 3, 5, 6, and 7 where particularly hard to find, and were what caused me to ultimately create YAJL.
Ygl
Ygl is a two dimensional grpahics programs with a variety of standard X11 routines. Included are most 2D graphics routines, a queue device routine, some query routines, doublebuffering, RGB mode with arbitrary visuals and most window attribute routines.
Zeek
Zeek is a powerful network analysis framework that is much different from the typical IDS you may know. (Zeek is the new name for the long-established Bro system. Note that parts of the system retain the "Bro" name, and it also often appears in the documentation and distributions.) While focusing on network security monitoring, Zeek provides a comprehensive platform for more general network traffic analysis as well. Well grounded in more than 20 years of research, Zeek has successfully bridged the traditional gap between academia and operations since its inception. Today, it is relied upon operationally by both major companies and numerous many educational and scientific institutions for securing their cyberinfrastructure. Zeek was originally developed by Vern Paxson. Robin Sommer now leads the project, jointly with a core team of researchers and developers at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, CA; and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Urbana-Champaign, IL.
Zthread
ZThread is an advanced object-oriented threading and synchronization library, implemented in C++. It provides an excellent and powerful abstraction from native threads. It includes interruptable thread objects and several other synchronization control objects and lets you safely terminate threads without the complications of using cancellation handlers or other similar constructs.
