Rust library providing a set of address data types with minimal dependencies which allow simple use of. - Tor, Nym, I2P and other mix networks and SOCKS proxies; - P2P addresses with node public keys.
The crate may be used in a way that prevents using DNS names (outside mixnet scope).
The library is a part of rust cyphernet suite.

Network addresses provided by the library include the following types:
* InetHost - IP addr or DNS name
* HostName - IP, DNS, Tor, I2P, Nym host name (no port or proxy information)
* NetAddr - any type of host name + port information
* PartialAddr - any type of host name + optional port, which defaults to
generic const if not provided
* PeerAddr - any of the above addresses + node public key for authentication
* ProxiedHost - host name + proxy (there are IP/DNS w/o proxy and with proxy)
* ProxiedAddr - any of the above addresses + proxy (thus IP/DNS is always
proxied)
The library tries to minimize number of dependencies. Most of its functionality
is available via non-default features, like:
- mixnets: supports for mixnet network addresses, including tor, nym,
i2p (may require additional crypto libraries for parsing public keys);
- serde: encoding for addresses types;
- dns: enable use of DNS names alongside IP addresses and mixnet names.
API reference documentation for the library can be accessed at https://docs.rs/cypheraddr/.
