Awesome Pascal

A curated list of awesome Delphi, FreePascal and other *Pascal frameworks, libraries, resources, and shiny things. Inspired by awesome-xxx stuff.

Note that only open-source projects are considered. Dead projects (not updated for 3 years or more) must be really awesome or unique to be included. Feel free to suggest other missing nice projects either by comments or pull requests.

This awesome collection is also available on Delphi.ZEEF.com

:exclamation: Note on compiler compatibility. There are compiler/language dialect compatibility badges for all projects based on a project’s description. No real compatibility with compilers not officially supported is checked. Often a code could be used with non-supported compiler/language dialect with minor modifications but there could be exceptions.
