Batteries is just theOCaml
development platform --
a long time OCaml hacker
OCaml Batteries included (or simply
"Batteries") is a community-driven effort to standardize on an
consistent, documented, and comprehensive
development platform for the OCaml
programming language.
Batteries is meant to serve the following purposes:
define a standard set of libraries which may be expected on
every compliant installation of OCaml;
organize these libraries into a hierarchy of modules;
define a standard set of language extensions (based on
CamlP4)
which may be expected on every compliant installation of OCaml;
Batteries can be
downloaded
from the forge, as usual. The code is free software,
licensed under the terms of the GNU LGPL
(version 2.1, or above), with the usual OCaml linking exception.
The documentation (API reference) is
