"Professional haXe and Neko"


If a particular feature is not present in the current haXe distribution, you will be happy to know that the
active community is releasing new modules all the time. Many new and exciting modules are in
development that seem destined to far exceed any other language in terms of feature, speed, and ease
of use. While creating your own libraries is so simple, you ??™ ll find yourself building all sorts of creations
for the shear fun of it.
All of the core libraries are covered later in the book.
How Does haXe Work?
With the exception of any Neko modules you may be using in your project, all haXe files are merely text
documents with the extension .hx . Each file contains classes that make up your application, regardless
of what platform you will be exporting to.
Your application will also make use of a number of standard classes in the form of packages, which are
also in .hx files and provide reusable functionality for use in everyday applications. In all likelihood,
you will probably create your own packages in order to speed up applications development as you gain
experience with haXe.
