Module aliasing in Julia

In python you can do something like this to let you use a shortened module name:

>>> import tensorflow as tf

From then on you can refer to tf, instead of having to type tensorflow everywhere.

Is something like this possible in Juila?

I'm pushing the practical snippet @Alan don't mentioned:

  • At MyMod.jl:
module MyModule

plus(x, y) = x + y
myfield = 0

end
  • At Main.jl:
# Only if you're including the module from another file.
include("MyMod.jl")

import .MyModule as mymod

println(mymod.myfield)
println(mymod.plus(1, 1))

Yep, you can just assign the module to a new name.

import JSON
const J = JSON

J.print(Dict("Hello, " => "World!"))

I highly recommend to use the const because otherwise there will be a performance penalty. (With the const, there is no performance penalty.)
