+TITLE: Actaeon

Distributed PubSub and messaging protocol for decentralized real time applications.

This library offers users a simple to use, easy to understand API for a mostly automatically managed decentralized messaging system based on the Kademlia paper. Fast and reliable message exchange is possible through both direct and indirect TCP messaging.

A very simple example of how to use the library to broadcast messages on a specific topic:

+begin_src rust

use actaeon::{ config::Config, node::{Center, ToAddress}, Interface, }; use sodiumoxide::crypto::box_;

fn main() { let config = Config::new(20, 1, 100, "example.com".tostring(), 4242); let (, secret) = box::genkeypair(); let center = Center::new(secret, String::from("127.0.0.1"), 1234);

  let interface = Interface::new(config, center).unwrap();

  let mut topic = interface.subscribe(&"example".to_string().to_address().unwrap());

  let _ = topic.broadcast("hello world".as_bytes().to_vec());

}

+end_src

There are still some unresolved issues: - Active connections can sometimes fail without reason. - Error handling for signaling & multiple signaling servers. - General documentation (and minor error handling). - Add more detailed logging & tracing.
