An implementation of the Fast Universal Digital Interface networking protocol. This can be used to communicate with Pure Data via the netsend / netreceive objects. note: This implementation does not handle escaped whitepace in message atoms.

The specification implies ASCII encoding for the messages. A message needs a trailing newline (i.e. '\n') according to the Java example in the old wiki page. This is not explicitly mentioned in the FUDI specification.

examples:

• send random floats
  • run patch "sendrandomfloats.pd"
  • run: cargo run --examples send_random_floats
• receive random floats
  • run patch "receiverandomfloats.pd"
  • run: cargo run --examples receive_random_floats
• receive bangs
  • run patch "receviebang.pd"
  • run: `cargo run --example receivebang"

TODO

• handle non-alphanumeric characters in message
• handling escaped whitespace in atoms
• handle TCP
