# Standard Library Integration - Complete

This document describes the complete standard library integration with the Zexus evaluator.

## Overview

The Zexus standard library provides 100+ functions across 6 modules, all fully integrated with the evaluator and loadable via `use` statements.

## Modules

1. **fs** - File system operations (30+ functions)
2. **http** - HTTP client (5 functions)
3. **json** - JSON parsing/serialization (7 functions)
4. **datetime** - Date/time operations (25+ functions)
5. **crypto** - Cryptographic functions (15+ functions)
6. **blockchain** - Blockchain utilities (12+ functions)

## Usage

### Import Syntax

The standard library supports multiple import styles:

#### Named Imports
```zexus
use {read_file, write_file} from "fs"
use {hash_sha256, keccak256} from "crypto"
use {create_address, validate_address} from "blockchain"
```

#### Module Imports
```zexus
use "stdlib/fs" as fs
use "stdlib/crypto" as crypto
use "stdlib/blockchain" as blockchain
```

#### Short Format
```zexus
use {read_file} from "fs"           # Same as "stdlib/fs"
use {hash_sha256} from "crypto"     # Same as "stdlib/crypto"
```

## Implementation

### Architecture

```
Zexus Code (use statement)
    ↓
Evaluator (eval_use_statement)
    ↓
stdlib_integration.py (is_stdlib_module, get_stdlib_module)
    ↓
stdlib/<module>.py (Python implementation)
    ↓
Zexus Environment (wrapped functions)
```

### Integration Points

1. **statements.py**: `eval_use_statement()` checks for stdlib modules
2. **stdlib_integration.py**: Creates Zexus environments for each module
3. **stdlib/*.py**: Python implementations of stdlib functions

### Type Conversion

Functions automatically convert between Python and Zexus types:

```python
# Python → Zexus
String(python_str)
Integer(python_int)
Boolean(python_bool)
ListObj([...])
Map({...})

# Zexus → Python
obj.value
_zexus_to_python(obj)
```

## Examples

### File System
```zexus
use {read_file, write_file, exists, mkdir} from "fs"

write_file("data.txt", "Hello!")
let content = read_file("data.txt")
if exists("data.txt") {
    print("File exists!")
}
```

### HTTP
```zexus
use {get, post} from "http"

let response = get("https://api.example.com/data")
print(response.status)
print(response.body)
```

### JSON
```zexus
use {parse, stringify} from "json"

let data = {name: "Alice", age: 30}
let json_str = stringify(data)
let parsed = parse(json_str)
```

### DateTime
```zexus
use {now, timestamp, format} from "datetime"

let current = now()
let ts = timestamp()
print("Current time: " + current)
print("Timestamp: " + string(ts))
```

### Crypto
```zexus
use {hash_sha256, keccak256, random_bytes, pbkdf2} from "crypto"

# Hash data
let hash = hash_sha256("Hello World")
print("SHA-256: " + hash)

# Ethereum-style hash
let keccak = keccak256("Hello World")
print("Keccak-256: " + keccak)

# Generate random data
let random = random_bytes(32)
print("Random: " + random)

# Derive key from password
let key = pbkdf2("password", "salt", 100000)
```

### Blockchain
```zexus
use {create_address, validate_address, calculate_merkle_root, 
     create_genesis_block, create_block} from "blockchain"

# Create and validate address
let address = create_address("public_key_data")
let is_valid = validate_address(address)
print("Address: " + address)
print("Valid: " + string(is_valid))

# Create blockchain
let genesis = create_genesis_block()
let block1 = create_block(1, timestamp(), "Block data", genesis.hash)

# Merkle tree
let tx_hashes = ["hash1", "hash2", "hash3"]
let merkle_root = calculate_merkle_root(tx_hashes)
print("Merkle root: " + merkle_root)
```

## Testing

All modules have been tested:

```bash
cd /home/runner/work/zexus-interpreter/zexus-interpreter
zx run test_stdlib.zx
```

Output:
