+# module `std`
+
+## The THP standard library
+
+This module contains many functions, classes, constant & enums
+commonly used in THP programs. These can be used directly,
+without having to import them.
+
+This module is not a 1:1 map of the global PHP scope. Instead,
+this module contains all those members organized into classes,
+objects or other modules.
+
+For example, to find if a string contains another, in PHP you'd do:
+
+```php
+if (str_contains("abc", "a")) {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+In THP there is no `str_contains` function. Instead, you'd use the
+`contains` function inside `String`:
+
+```thp
+if String.contains("abc", "a")
+{
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+Or even better, you'd use the function as a method:
+
+```thp data-thp
+if "abc".contains("a")
+{
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+
+
+
