Purpose

The Forth Foundation Library (FFL) is a library written in the Forth programming language. It contains multiple modules with generally applicable source code. Its main purpose is to make it easier to develop applications.

Character	Single Linked List	MD-5	Argument Parser	Escaped String	Text Output Stream
Dynamic String	Double Linked List	SHA-1	Gettexts mo-file Import	Enumeration	Regular Expressions
Character Set	Hash Table	SHA-256	XML/HTML Parser	String Table	XML-DOM
Date Time	Binary Tree	Mersenne Twister	XML/HTML Writer	Unit Test	DateTime Output Stream
Complex Number	AVL Tree	Distributed	GTK-server	Fixed width data types	Message Catalog
Fraction	N-Tree

See the Modules wiki page for an overview of all modules in the library. These pages are also distributed in the download package.

In the Manual wiki page there is hands on information how to use the library. In the Engines page you can check if your Forth engine is supported by the library.
