A Multiplatform And Open-Source Programming Language

haXe is an open source programming language. While most of the other languages are bound to their own platform (Java to the JVM, C# to .Net, ActionScript to the Flash Player), haXe is a multiplatform language.

You can use haXe to target the following platforms :

  • Javascript : You can compile a haXe program to a single .js file. You can access the typed browser DOM APIs with autocompletion support, and all the dependencies are resolved at compilation time.
  • Flash : You can compile a haXe program to a .swf file. haXe can compile for Flash Players 6 to 9, with either “old” Flash<8 API or newest AS3/Flash9 API. haXe offers very good performance and language features to develop Flash content.
  • NekoVM : You can compile a haXe program to NekoVM bytecode. This can be used for server-sidemod_neko for Apache) and also for commandline or desktop applications, since the NekoVM can be embedded and extended with some other DLL. programming such as dynamic webpages (using
  • PHP : You can compile a haXe program to .php files. This enable you to use a high level strictly-typed language such as haXe while keeping full compatibility with your existing server platform and libraries.

  • a standardized language with many good features
  • a standard library (including Date, Xml, Math…) that works the same on all platforms
  • platform-specific libraries : the full APIs for a given platform are accessible from haXe
