The gawkextlib project provides several extension libraries for gawk (GNU AWK), as well as libgawkextlib containing some APIs that are useful for building gawk extension libraries. These libraries enable gawk to process XML data, interact with a PostgreSQL database, use the GD graphics library, and perform unlimited precision MPFR calculations.

These extensions work with GNU AWK version 4.1.1 or later. We have created a framework for packaging gawk extensions, and we welcome further contributions. Recent additions include haru, redis, and select for I/O multiplexing.

User Reviews

  • A very cool project. Go on guys, Gawk is a cool language, it always helps. Working with databases in the modern world is inevitable. Thank you for your efforts. There will be time, add Sqlite3 support. Good luck!
  • I've only just started using the xml extension and am quite impressed. Its documentation needs some work, for example on the indexing and a couple of sections that "have not been written yet" (hence my 4 stars out of 5), though generally I'm able to find almost everything that I'm looking for.
  • Gawkextlib works perfectly.
