== Introduction ==

Cashew is a namespace package for simple but useful D.  Minimalistic libraries, proof-of-concept code, single-module utilities, and the like are the expected residents.  Anyone is free to suggest or contribute to Cashew.  Cashew is meant to be used with the [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango Tango Runtime Library].  Certain modules of Cashew maintain usable Phobos support, but this is not universal -- see the documentation for individual sub-packages and utilities for whether they support Phobos.

Current branches of the Cashew Tree include:

 * ''[wiki:CashewCgi cashew.cgi]:'' utilities for use in CGI and related programs, currently only URL encoding.
 * ''[wiki:CashewJson cashew.json]:'' working with the JSON data format.  (See http://www.json.org/ for more on this format.)
 * ''[wiki:CashewUtils cashew.utils]:'' single-module utilities, such as array functions and a unittest prettifying framework.
 * ''[wiki:CashewSys cashew.sys]:'' system utilities, currently only access to the environment variables (Tango users should use the equivelant Tango module instead).

Some statistics for Cashew may be found at [http://www.ohloh.net/projects/cashew Ohloh.net].

The Cashew package is made available under the [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license-2.0.php Artistic License 2.0] (aka Perl6 License), except for any portions which may be marked as being public domain.

== Download ==

The latest version of Cashew can be obtained by checking out the code from our subversion (svn) repository.  The URL is [http://svn.dsource.org/projects/cashew/trunk]. Using a standard command-line svn client, the code can be checked out using the command:
{{{
   svn co http://svn.dsource.org/projects/cashew/trunk cashew
}}}

If you need help getting started using Subversion, [http://www.dsource.org the dsource front page] has some links.

Users of [http://www.dsource.org/projects/dsss DSSS] can just use 'dsss net install cashew' to get the most recent head revision installed as a source library.

== Contributors ==

The original instigator of the Cashew project was Christopher Nicholson-Sauls.  There have been several other contributors, including (in alphabetical order):
 * "baxissimo"
 * Bill Baxter
 * David Medlock
 * David Qualls
 * Dustin Pate
 * Mikola Lysenko
 * Reiner Pope
 * Sean Kelly

And possibly others.

== Versioning ==

The Cashew package as a whole does not have a single unified version.  Rather, each sub-package (library) maintains its own version, with the special exception of the ''[wiki:CashewUtils cashew.utils]'' package which contains single-module utilities each with their own version.
