.. _aiohttp-3rd-party:

Third-Party libraries
=====================


aiohttp is not just a library for making HTTP requests and creating web
servers.

It is the foundation for libraries built *on top* of aiohttp.

This page is a list of these tools.

Please feel free to add your open source library if it's not listed
yet by making a pull request to https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/

* Why would you want to include your awesome library in this list?

* Because the list increases your library visibility. People
  will have an easy way to find it.

Approved third-party libraries
------------------------------

These libraries are not part of ``aio-libs`` but they have proven to be very
well written and highly recommended for usage.

- `uvloop <https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop>`_ Ultra fast
  implementation of asyncio event loop on top of ``libuv``.

  We highly recommend to use this instead of standard ``asyncio``.

Database drivers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- `asyncpg <https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg>`_ Another
  PostgreSQL async driver. It's much faster than ``aiopg`` but is
  not a drop-in replacement -- the API is different. But, please take
  a look at it -- the driver is incredibly fast.
