scala.xml - XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization.
Many other packages exist. See the complete list on the left.
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.
This is the documentation for the Scala standard library.

scala.collectionand its subpackages contain a collections framework with higher-order functions for manipulation. Bothscala.collection.immutableandscala.collection.mutabledata structures are available, with immutable as the default. Thescala.collection.parallelcollections provide automatic parallel operation.Other important packages include:
scala.actors- Concurrency framework inspired by Erlang.scala.io- Input and output.scala.math- Basic math functions and additional numeric types.scala.sys- Interaction with other processes and the operating system.scala.util.matching- Pattern matching in text using regular expressions.scala.util.parsing.combinator- Composable combinators for parsing.scala.xml- XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization.Many other packages exist.
