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:

``` 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());

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

} ```

There are still some unresolved issues:

• Error handling for signaling & multiple signaling servers.
• Add interior mutability for topics so the user doesn't have to declare them as mutable.
• Handle crashed threads.
