qio

QIO is a data structure designed to solve practical problems of effectful code in both Node.js and browser environments. It provides a robust foundation for managing side effects in a purely functional way, enabling developers to write more predictable and maintainable applications.

Key Features

• Type Safety — Full TypeScript support ensures compile-time error detection and better developer experience.
• Functional Programming — Built on functional principles, offering immutability and pure functions for effect management.
• Performance — Optimized for speed and efficiency in handling asynchronous operations and side effects.
• Lawful — Adheres to algebraic laws, ensuring predictable and consistent behavior across compositions.
• Composability — Effects can be easily combined and sequenced to build complex programs from simple, reusable parts.
• Platform Agnostic — Works seamlessly in both Node.js and browser environments.

Available Components

QIO is organized into several packages, each addressing specific domains: @qio/core for core effect management, @qio/stream for functional streaming, @qio/console for terminal I/O, @qio/http for HTTP operations, and @qio/fs for file system interactions.

Philosophy

QIO emphasizes a purely functional approach to side effects, promoting code that is easier to reason about, test, and maintain through mathematical rigor and composability.
