# Rules
The Bazel ecosystem has a growing and evolving set of rules to support popular languages
and packages. Much of Bazel's strength comes from the ability to
[define new rules](skylark/concepts.html) that can be used by others.
## Recommended rules
Here is a selection of recommended rules:
* [Android](bazel-and-android.html)
* [Boost](https://github.com/nelhage/rules_boost)
* [C / C++](bazel-and-cpp.html)
* [Docker](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker)
* [Go](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go)
* [Haskell](https://github.com/tweag/rules_haskell)
* [Java](bazel-and-java.html)
* [JavaScript / NodeJS](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs)
* [Kubernetes](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_k8s)
* [Maven dependency management](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external)
* [Objective C](bazel-and-apple.html)
* [Package building and fetching rules](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg)
* [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_proto#protobuf-rules-for-bazel)
* [Python](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python)
* [Scala](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_scala)
* [Shell](be/shell.html)
* [Webtesting](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_webtesting) (Webdriver)
The repository [Skylib](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib) contains
additional functions that can be useful when writing new rules and new
macros.
The rules above were reviewed and follow our
[requirements for recommended rules](https://www.bazel.build/recommended-rules.html).
Contact the respective rule set's maintainers regarding issues and feature
requests.
To find more Bazel rules, use a search engine, take a look on
[awesomebazel.com](https://awesomebazel.com/), or search on
[GitHub](https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=bazel+rules&s=stars&type=Repositories).
## Native rules that do not apply to a specific programming language
Native rules are shipped with the Bazel binary, they are always available in
BUILD files without a `load` statement.
* Extra actions
- [`extra_action`](be/extra-actions.html#extra_action)
- [`action_listener`](be/extra-actions.html#action_listener)
* General
- [`filegroup`](be/general.html#filegroup)
- [`genquery`](be/general.html#genquery)
- [`test_suite`](be/general.html#test_suite)
- [`alias`](be/general.html#alias)
- [`config_setting`](be/general.html#config_setting)
- [`genrule`](be/general.html#genrule)
* Platform
- [`constraint_setting`](be/platform.html#constraint_setting)
- [`constraint_value`](be/platform.html#constraint_value)
- [`platform`](be/platform.html#platform)
- [`toolchain`](be/platform.html#toolchain)
- [`toolchain_type`](be/platform.html#toolchain_type)
* Workspace
- [`bind`](be/workspace.html#bind)
- [`local_repository`](be/workspace.html#local_repository)
- [`new_local_repository`](be/workspace.html#new_local_repository)
- [`xcode_config`](be/workspace.html#xcode_config)
- [`xcode_version`](be/workspace.html#xcode_version)
## Embedded non-native rules
Bazel also embeds additional rules written in Starlark. Those can be loaded from
the `@bazel_tools` built-in external repository.
* Repository rules
- [`git_repository`](repo/git.md#git_repository)
- [`new_git_repository`](repo/git.html#new_git_repository)
- [`http_archive`](repo/http.html#http_archive)
- [`http_file`](repo/http.html#http_archive)
- [`http_jar`](repo/http.html#http_jar)
- [Utility functions on patching](repo/utils.md)
