  • cowasm

    CoWasm: Collaborative WebAssembly for Servers and Browsers. Built using Zig. Supports Python with extension modules, including numpy.

  • raylib-zig

    Manually tweaked, auto-generated raylib bindings for zig. https://github.com/raysan5/raylib

  • zig-sqlite

    zig-sqlite is a small wrapper around sqlite's C API, making it easier to use with Zig.

    • Project mention: SQLite with zig 0.11.0 | /r/Zig | 2023-05-28

    I'm trying to work with sqlite in zig. I found this project https://github.com/vrischmann/zig-sqlite but it seems that it is broken with zig 0.11.0 (something to do with stage2 I guess).

  • SDL.zig

    A shallow wrapper around SDL that provides object API and error handling

    • Project mention: SDL.zig: A shallow wrapper around SDL for Zig | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-18

  • sokol-zig

    Zig bindings for the sokol headers (https://github.com/floooh/sokol)

    • Project mention: Zig cookbook: collection of simple Zig programs that demonstrate good practices | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-01

    Zig currently doesn't allow chained designators and also doesn't allow to partially initialize arrays and fill up the rest of the array with default values.

    E.g. the closest Zig equivalent to this C99 code:

    https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/b3bc55c4411fa03...

    ...is this:

    https://github.com/floooh/sokol-zig/blob/a4b3c287fadd153a504...

    ...note how part of the initialization had to be moved out into "code".

    There's a ticket about this here, but it's currently not high-priority:

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nanovg-zig

    A small anti-aliased hardware-accelerated vector graphics library

    • Project mention: We Put a Distributed Database in the Browser – and Made a Game of It | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-12

    I used my Zig port of NanoVG: https://github.com/fabioarnold/nanovg-zig which ultimately uses WebGL for rendering in the browser.

  • ffmpeg

    FFmpeg Zig package (by andrewrk)

    • Project mention: Odin Programming Language | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-01

    And furthermore, C and C++ code can participate in the Zig package ecosystem. For example, here is ffmpeg packaged for consumption by a Zig project:

    https://github.com/andrewrk/ffmpeg

    Why not use a system package? Well, because the user's system might not have such a package. They might be on Windows, for example. Or their package might be out of date. [Or the system might have chosen sides in a nasty fork war](http://blog.pkh.me/p/13-the-ffmpeg-libav-situation.html).

    So, while system packages are nice for end users, they might not always satisfy the needs of upstream application developers.

  • Hidamari

    Modern operating system aimed at running WebAssembly code. (by HidamariProject)

  • zig-gorillas

    A clone of the classic QBasic Gorillas written in the Zig programming language

    • Project mention: 0.11.0 Release Notes | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-03

    I use Zig for all my hobby projects:

    * A pixel art editor https://github.com/fabioarnold/MiniPixel

    * A Mega Man clone https://github.com/fabioarnold/zeroman

    * Zig Gorillas https://github.com/fabioarnold/zig-gorillas

    And most recently I had the opportunity to build a visualization for TigerBeetle's database simulator: https://sim.tigerbeetle.com

    Before I was using C++ and Zig has been an improvement in every way.

  • fetch-them-macos-headers

    A utility for fetching minimal macOS libc headers

  • zqlite.zig

    A thin SQLite wrapper for Zig

    • Project mention: SQLite with zig 0.11.0 | /r/Zig | 2023-05-28

    Call C directly. You can look at https://github.com/karlseguin/zqlite.zig for some insight into binding/reading.
