Ask HN: What libraries are a joy to work with?

  Bootstrap! http://bootstrapdocs.com/ http://bootstrapdocs.com/ Their documentation is great. They have useful code examples that are simple enough to copy+paste into your own code, but are complex enough to show off the entire feature.

  Django Rest Framework http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ http://www.django-rest-framework.org/. Makes writing APIs in Python quick and painless.

    On one hand I like that most stuff works well, but when I dive into the libraries, its so many layers, so many small files, that it makes everything feel fragile.

  Command Line Parser Library for .Net/.Net Core. This made setting up quick CLI apps pretty brainless for me. https://github.com/gsscoder/commandline https://github.com/gsscoder/commandline

    In Scala, you mean?
    • tjalfi 10y ago
      I haven't learned Scala yet. I'm referring to a .NET library (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.immutable(v=vs.111).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections....).

  I really like Stripe's Node API, it is a pretty class act all around. Their documentation is top-notch. (Also they have lurkers in HN so if you complain, you get someone from Stripe offering help. :))

  I'm using Clap[0] for a command line project I'm doing in Rust. The API for it is fantastic, and the examples are very well commented. Overall it's the best library I've run across in a while. [0]: https://github.com/kbknapp/clap-rs https://github.com/kbknapp/clap-rs
