A collection of simple, runnable Zig example programs ('recipes') demonstrating good practices for common programming tasks like file I/O, networking, cryptography, and databases. It is published as a static website generated with zine and tracks recent Zig releases.

Use cases

• learn how to read files line by line in Zig
• example of hashing a password with Argon2 in Zig
• how to write an HTTP server in Zig
• serialize and deserialize JSON in Zig
• connect to SQLite or Postgres from Zig
• run external commands from a Zig program
• thread pool and concurrency examples in Zig

When to choose

• you are learning Zig and want tested, idiomatic examples for common tasks
• you need copy-paste recipes for file, network, crypto, or database operations in Zig
• you want examples matched to a specific Zig version via its branches

When to avoid

• you need comprehensive API documentation rather than task-based examples
• you are working in a language other than Zig
• you need production-ready libraries or frameworks rather than illustrative snippets
