POLICY-COND provides tools to insert and execute code based on a compiler's OPTIMIZE policy. It also contains a contract-like notion of expectations, which allow dynamic checking or inclusion of various things that should happen depending on compiler policy.

This is a bindings and wrapper library to libmpg123 allowing for convenient, extensive, and fast decoding of MPEG1/2/3 (most prominently mp3) files.

This package provides a consolidation of Common Lisp statistics libraries.

Skippy is a Common Lisp library to read and write GIF image files.

Scrape on-line documentation out of a running Lisp image.

The Bordeaux-FFT library provides a reasonably efficient implementation of the Fast Fourier Transform and its inverse for complex-valued inputs, in portable Common Lisp.

This package provides CFFI bindings to convert between different character encodings using iconv.

This is a system to help you easily and quickly deploy standalone common lisp applications as binaries. Specifically it is geared towards applications with foreign library dependencies that run some kind of GUI.

This is a small library to help you with managing the Common Lisp docstrings for your library.

This Common Lisp library provides optimized byte-swapping primitives. The library can change endianness of unsigned integers of length 1/2/4/8. Very useful in implementing various network protocols and file formats.

This is a Common Lisp package for hash table creation with flexible, extensible initializers.

CL-HEAP provides various implementations of heap data structures (a binary heap and a Fibonacci heap) as well as an efficient priority queue.

FSet is a functional set-theoretic collections library for Common Lisp. Functional means that all update operations return a new collection rather than modifying an existing one in place. Set-theoretic means that collections may be nested arbitrarily with no additional programmer effort; for instance, sets may contain sets, maps may be keyed by sets, etc.

This is a Common Lisp library to enable simple message pipelines.

charje.lambda-list can parse every kind of lambda list defined in the ANSI Common Lisp standard. Parsing yields only one object that has all the parsed parts of the lambda list inside. New kinds of lambda lists can be made too.

S-XML is a simple XML parser implemented in Common Lisp. This XML parser implementation has the following features:

• It works (handling many common XML usages).

• It is very small (the core is about 700 lines of code, including comments and whitespace).

• It has a core API that is simple, efficient and pure functional, much like that from SSAX (see also http://ssax.sourceforge.net).

• It supports different DOM models: an XSML-based one, an LXML-based one and a classic xml-element struct based one.

• It is reasonably time and space efficient (internally avoiding garbage generatation as much as possible).

• It does support CDATA.

• It should support the same character sets as your Common Lisp implementation.

• It does support XML name spaces.

This XML parser implementation has the following limitations:

• It does not support any special tags (like processing instructions).

• It is not validating, even skips DTD's all together.

Serapeum is a conservative library of Common Lisp utilities. It is a supplement, not a competitor, to Alexandria.

DEFLATE data, defined in RFC1951, forms the core of popular compression formats such as zlib (RFC 1950) and gzip (RFC 1952). As such, Chipz also provides for decompressing data in those formats as well. BZIP2 is the format used by the popular compression tool bzip2.

cl-charms is an interface to libcurses in Common Lisp. It provides both a raw, low-level interface to libcurses via CFFI, and a more higher-level lispier interface.

Random-Sample is a library for reliably taking a random sample from a sequence.

Alloy is a user interface toolkit. It is defined through a set of protocols that allow for a clear interface, as well as a standardised way to integrate Alloy into a target backend.

This library is a collection of pseudo random number generators.

While Common Lisp does provide a RANDOM function, it does not allow the user to pass an explicit SEED, nor to portably exchange the random state between implementations. This can be a headache in cases like games, where a controlled seeding process can be very useful.

For both curiosity and convenience, this library offers multiple algorithms to generate random numbers, as well as a bunch of generally useful methods to produce desired ranges.

In the crowded space of Common Lisp HTML generators, Spinneret occupies the following coordinates:

• Modern. Targets HTML5. Does not treat XML and HTML as the same problem. Assumes you will be serving your documents as UTF-8.

• Composable. Makes it easy to refactor HTML generation into separate functions and macros.

• Pretty. Treats HTML as a document format, not a serialization. Output is idiomatic and readable, following the coding style of the HTML5 specification.

• Aggressive. If something can be interpreted as HTML, then it will be, meaning that some Lisp forms can't be mixed with HTML syntax. In the trade-off between 90% convenience and 10% correctness Spinneret is on the side of convenience.

• Bilingual. Spinneret (after loading spinneret/ps) has the same semantics in Lisp and Parenscript.

cl-json provides an encoder of Lisp objects to JSON format and a corresponding decoder of JSON data to Lisp objects. Both the encoder and the decoder are highly customizable; at the same time, the default settings ensure a very simple mode of operation, similar to that provided by yason or st-json.
