\emph{Deprecated:} The remoting API has been removed from the standard library in Haxe 4. For compatibility purposes it is still available in the \href{https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hx3compat/}{hx3compat} library. See \Fullref{std-hx3compat}.

Haxe remoting is a way to communicate between different platforms. With Haxe remoting, applications can transmit data transparently, send data and call methods between server and client side.

The Haxe Standard Library provides basic unit testing classes from the \href{https://api.haxe.org/haxe/unit/}{haxe.unit} package.

\section{Haxe 3 Compatibility}
\label{std-hx3compat}
\since{4.0.0}

Some APIs that were originally a part of the standard library have been removed in Haxe 4. To allow projects to transition from Haxe 3 more smoothly, the \href{https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hx3compat/}{hx3compat} library still provides these APIs. To use it, simply install it and compile the project with \ic{-L hx3compat}.

The full list of APIs in hx3compat is:

\begin{itemize}
\item \type{haxe.remoting.*} Haxe remoting
\item \type{haxe.unit.*} Unit testing
\item \type{haxe.web.*} Web request classes for Haxe web servers
\item \type{neko.net.*} Neko web server
\item (JavaScript target only) jQuery and SWFObject externs
\end{itemize}

Note that some of these APIs were removed form the standard library in favour of solutions in external libraries:

\begin{itemize}
\item \href{https://github.com/haxe-utest/utest}{haxe-utest} is a Haxe unit testing library.

\item \href{https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxnodejs}{hxnodejs} can be used to produce Node.js web servers in Haxe.

The \tref{externs mechanism}{lf-externs} provides access to the native APIs in a type-safe manner. It assumes that the defined types exist at run-time but assumes nothing about how and where those types are defined.
