GraphQL Elixir
GraphQL Elixir
An Elixir implementation of Facebook's GraphQL. This is the core GraphQL query parsing and execution engine whose goal is to be transport, server and datastore agnostic. In order to setup an HTTP server (ie Phoenix) to handle GraphQL queries you will need plug_graphql. Examples for Phoenix can be found at hello_graphql_phoenix, so look here for a starting point for writing your own schemas. Other ways of handling queries will be added in due course. Tokenization is done with leex and parsing with yecc. Both very useful Erlang tools for parsing. Yecc in particular is used by Elixir itself. -

Guardian
Elixir Authentication
Guardian is a token based authentication library for use with Elixir applications. Guardian remains a functional system. It integrates with Plug but can be used outside of it. If you're implementing a TCP/UDP protocol directly or want to utilize your authentication via channels in Phoenix, Guardian can work for you. The core currency of authentication in Guardian is the token. By default JSON Web Tokens are supported out of the box but you can use any token that Has the concept of a key-value payload, is tamper-proof, can serialize to a String, or that has a supporting module that implements the Guardian.Token behavior. You can use Guardian tokens to authenticate web endpoints (Plug/Phoenix/X), channels/Sockets (Phoenix - optional), and any other system you can imagine. If you can attach an authentication token you can authenticate it. -

HTTPoison
Yet Another HTTP client for Elixir powered by hackney
HTTP client for Elixir, based on HTTPotion. HTTPoison uses hackney to execute HTTP requests instead of ibrowse. Using hackney we work only with binaries instead of string lists. First, add HTTPoison to your mix.exs dependencies. Add :httpoison to your applications list if your Elixir version is 1.3 or lower. You can also easily pattern match on the HTTPoison.Response struct. There are a number of supported options(not to be confused with the HTTP options method), documented here, that can be added to your request. The example below shows the use of the :ssl and :recv_timeout options for a post request to an api that requires a bearer token. The :ssl option allows you to set options accepted by the Erlang SSL module, and :recv_timeout sets a timeout on receiving a response, the default is 5000ms. -

Horde
Horde is a distributed Supervisor and Registry
Horde provides a distributed, fault-tolerant Registry and DynamicSupervisor for Elixir applications, letting you run and manage processes across clustered nodes as if they lived on a single machine. It relies on conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs) to converge membership and process ownership without a central leader, so cluster topology can change freely as nodes join or leave. With Horde.Registry you register processes globally and look them up anywhere, while Horde.DynamicSupervisor starts and migrates children across nodes, rebalancing as capacity or health changes. Because everything runs under OTP supervision, failures are isolated and recoveries are automatic, even during network partitions or rolling deploys. It integrates naturally with common clustering tools and plays well with PubSub, job systems, and presence tracking. The result is predictable, configuration-driven distribution that removes a lot of custom glue typically needed for multi-node Elixir systems. -

Jason
A blazing fast JSON parser and generator in pure Elixir
A blazing-fast JSON parser and generator in pure Elixir. The parser and generator are at least twice as fast as other Elixir/Erlang libraries (most notably Poison). The performance is comparable to jiffy, which is implemented in C as a NIF. Jason is usually only twice as slow. Both the parser and generator fully conform to RFC 8259 and ECMA 404 standards. The parser is tested using JSONTestSuite. The package can be installed by adding jason to your list of dependencies in mix.exs. Jason follows the JSON spec more strictly, for example, it does not allow unescaped newline characters in JSON strings - e.g. "\"\n\"" will produce a decoding error. No support for decoding into data structures (the as: option). No built-in encoders for MapSet, Range and Stream. No support for encoding arbitrary structs - explicit implementation of the Jason.Encoder protocol is always required. Different pretty-printing customization options (default pretty: true works the same). -

Manifold
Fast batch message passing between nodes for Erlang/Elixir
Erlang and Elixir make it very easy to send messages between processes even across the network, but there are a few pitfalls. Sending a message to many PIDs across the network also copies the message across the network many times. Send calls cost about 70 µs/op so doing them in a loop eventually gets too expensive. Manifold distributes the work of sending messages to the remote nodes of the PIDs, which guarantees that the sending processes at most only calls send/2 equal to the number of involved remote nodes. Manifold does this by first grouping PIDs by their remote node and then sending to Manifold.Partitioner on each of those nodes. The partitioner then consistently hashes the PIDs using :erlang.phash2/2, groups them by the number of cores, sends to child workers, and finally those workers send to the actual PIDs. This ensures the partitioner does not get overloaded and still provides the linearizability guaranteed by send/2. -

Maru
Elixir RESTful Framework
Maru is a DSL for building HTTP/REST APIs in Elixir that emphasizes concise routing, parameter validation, and versioning. Inspired by Ruby’s Grape, it lets you describe endpoints declaratively—paths, verbs, and nested scopes—while composing reusable middleware via Plug. Strong parameter parsing and validators help keep controllers clean by moving input checking and coercion into the route layer. Built-in support for namespacing and API versioning simplifies rolling changes or maintaining multiple client generations side by side. Error handling, helpers, and content negotiation are wired into the DSL, so common cross-cutting concerns are consistent across endpoints. Because Maru sits on Plug and Cowboy, it retains Elixir’s performance and concurrency while making API development fast and readable. -

Membrane Core
The core of Membrane Framework, multimedia processing framework
membrane_core is the foundation of the Membrane multimedia framework for Elixir, providing the abstractions and runtime needed to build real-time audio and video pipelines. It models media processing as a graph of lightweight, supervised OTP processes—elements connected by links—so work is isolated, fault-tolerant, and easy to scale or reconfigure at runtime. The core defines a clear lifecycle and callback API for elements, plus concepts like buffers, events, and capabilities/format negotiation to keep components interoperable and type-safe. Back-pressure, scheduling, and time synchronization are handled by the framework, enabling low-latency streaming and precise playback control without ad-hoc concurrency code. Developers compose pipelines from reusable building blocks and can dynamically add, remove, or switch elements while the system is running. -

Plug
Compose web applications with functions
Plug is a specification and set of utilities for building composable modules in Elixir web applications. It defines a standard connection interface, allowing developers to create “plugs” that act as middleware for handling requests and responses. Examples include parsing parameters, managing sessions, logging, or authentication, all of which can be plugged into a pipeline. Plug serves as the foundation for the Phoenix framework, which builds on it to deliver a full-featured web stack. The library supports both synchronous and streaming responses, making it adaptable to various web scenarios. Its modularity and composability promote clean, reusable code while remaining lightweight enough for microservices and APIs outside of Phoenix. -
22
Poison
An incredibly fast, pure Elixir JSON library
Poison is a fast and lightweight JSON library for Elixir focused on performance and idiomatic APIs. It provides straightforward encode and decode functions, along with a protocol-based encoder that lets you customize how your structs become JSON. Developers can derive or implement Poison.Encoder for domain types, control which fields are included, and map complex values into JSON-friendly forms. On the decoding side, it supports options for key handling and flexible parsing of JSON into Elixir maps, lists, and primitive values. Internally it uses optimized binary processing to keep allocations low and throughput high, which is why it became a popular choice in early Elixir ecosystems. The API is intentionally small and unsurprising, making it easy to drop into controllers, background jobs, or data pipelines. Many codebases still rely on Poison for its speed and simplicity, even as alternative JSON libraries exist in the community. -
23
Pow
Robust, modular, and extendable user authentication system
Pow is a robust, modular, and extendable authentication and user management solution for Phoenix and Plug-based apps. Pow is built to be modular, and easy to configure. The configuration is passed to function calls as well as plug options, and they will take priority over any environment configuration. It's ideal in case you got an umbrella app with multiple separate user domains. The easiest way to use Pow with Phoenix is to use a :otp_app in function calls and set the app environment configuration. It will keep a persistent fallback configuration that you configure in one place. Pow ships with a session plug module. You can easily switch it out with a different one. Pow is extremely modular and fully customizable. As your platform scales, each moving part can be modified or replaced ad-hoc. Several extensions are included in Pow so you with no effort can add secure features to your app. -
24
Pow Auth
Robust, modular, and extendable user authentication system
A robust, modular and extendable. User management solution. Pow is a complete authentication and user management library built in Elixir that works out-of-the-box for Phoenix and Plug-based applications while being fully customizable. Pow gives you out-of-the-box authentication and user management for your Phoenix or Plug-based app. Functionally built so it's fully customizable. Strong security is a core tenet of Pow's philosophy, which is why Pow by default uses short lived sessions. If your app requires stateless tokens, the authorization layer can be replaced in minutes. Pow has been used in countless production apps and is a "batteries included" library for production. The cache backend store used for session storage can be replaced with any key-value store of your choice. The built-in Mnesia cache module works both for clusters and single-machine persistence, which can auto-connect to the cluster on startup and self-heal after netsplit. -

Poxa
Pusher server implementation compatible with Pusher client libraries
Pusher server implementation is compatible with Pusher client libraries. Open Pusher implementation compatible with Pusher libraries. It's designed to be used as a single registered app with id, secret, and key defined on start. Poxa is a standalone elixir server implementation of the Pusher protocol. Docker images are automatically built by Docker Hub. They are available at Docker Hub. One can generate it using: docker build -t local/poxa. Poxa uses gproc extensively to register websocket connections as channels. So, when a client subscribes for channel 'example-channel', the websocket connection (which is a elixir process) is "tagged" as {pusher, example-channel}. When a pusher event is triggered on the 'example-channel', every websocket matching the tag receives the event.
