Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to
as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists,
sets and sorted sets. This library is a Haskell client for the Redis
datastore. Compared to other Haskell client libraries it has some
advantages:
Compatibility with Latest Stable Redis:
Hedis is intended
to be used with the latest stable version of Redis (currently 3.2).
Most redis commands (http://redis.io/commands) are available as
haskell functions, although MONITOR and SYNC are intentionally
omitted. Additionally, a low-level API is
exposed that makes it easy for the library user to implement further
commands, such as new commands from an experimental Redis version.
When subscribed to the Redis Pub/Sub server
(http://redis.io/topics/pubsub), clients are not allowed to issue
commands other than subscribing to or unsubscribing from channels. This
library uses the type system to enforce the correct behavior.
Connect via TCP or Unix Domain Socket:
TCP sockets are the default way to
connect to a Redis server. For connections to a server on the same
machine, Unix domain sockets offer higher performance than the standard
TCP connection.
