  This is the documentation for the Scala standard library.

  #### Package structure

  The scala package contains core types like `Int`, `Float`, `Array` or `Option` which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.

  Notable packages include:

  - `scala.collection` and its sub-packages contain Scala's collections framework
    - `scala.collection.immutable` - Immutable, sequential data-structures such as `Vector`, `List`, `Range`, `HashMap` or `HashSet`
    - `scala.collection.mutable` - Mutable, sequential data-structures such as `ArrayBuffer`, `StringBuilder`, `HashMap` or `HashSet`
    - `scala.collection.concurrent` - Mutable, concurrent data-structures such as `TrieMap`
  - `scala.concurrent` - Primitives for concurrent programming such as `Futures` and `Promises`
  - `scala.io` - Input and output operations
  - `scala.math` - Basic math functions and additional numeric types like `BigInt` and `BigDecimal`
  - `scala.sys` - Interaction with other processes and the operating system
  - `scala.util.matching` - Regular expressions

  Other packages exist. See the complete list on the right.

  Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:

  - `scala.reflect` - Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)
  - `scala.xml` - XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)
  - `scala.collection.parallel` - Parallel collections (scala-parallel-collections.jar)
  - `scala.util.parsing` - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)
  - `scala.swing` - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)

  #### Automatic imports

  Identifiers in the scala package and the `scala.Predef` object are always in scope by default.

  Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example, `List` is an alias for `scala.collection.immutable.List`.

  Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM, `String` is an alias for `java.lang.String`.

  When defining a field, the Scala compiler creates up to four accessors for it: a getter, a setter, and if the field is annotated with `@BeanProperty`, a bean getter and a bean setter.

  When defining a field, the Scala compiler creates up to four accessors for it: a getter, a setter, and if the field is annotated with `@BeanProperty`, a bean getter and a bean setter.

  For instance in the following class definition

      class C(@myAnnot @BeanProperty var c: Int)

  there are six entities which can carry the annotation `@myAnnot`: the constructor parameter, the generated field and the four accessors.

  By default, annotations on (`val`-, `var`- or plain) constructor parameters end up on the parameter, not on any other entity. Annotations on fields by default only end up on the field.

  The meta-annotations in package `scala.annotation.meta` are used to control where annotations on fields and class parameters are copied. This is done by annotating either the annotation type or the annotation class with one or several of the meta-annotations in this package.

  #### Annotating the annotation type

  The target meta-annotations can be put on the annotation type when instantiating the annotation. In the following example, the annotation `@Id` will be added only to the bean getter `getX`.

      import javax.persistence.Id
      class A {
        @(Id @beanGetter) @BeanProperty val x = 0
      }

  In order to annotate the field as well, the meta-annotation `@field` would need to be added.

  The syntax can be improved using a type alias:

      object ScalaJPA {
        type Id = javax.persistence.Id @beanGetter
      }
      import ScalaJPA.Id
      class A {
        @Id @BeanProperty val x = 0
      }

  #### Annotating the annotation class

  For annotations defined in Scala, a default target can be specified in the annotation class itself, for example

      @getter
      class myAnnotation extends Annotation

  This only changes the default target for the annotation `myAnnotation`. When instantiating the annotation, the target can still be specified as described in the last section.
