Provides Stream-based reactive client/server communications focused on high performance -- through sockets, shared mem IPCs and other goodies -- async-powered by Tokio.
The distinct features of this library are:
- a through protocol modeling, with the help of Rust's powerful enums;
- ease of logic decoupling by using reactive Streams for the client / server logic.
Take a look at the ping-pong game in example/, which shows some nice patterns on how to use this library:
- How the ping-pong game logic is shared among the client and server;
- How the protocol is modeled;
- How to work with server-side sessions;
- How decoupled and testable those pieces are;
- How straight-forward it is to create flexible server & client applications once the processors are complete.
Research & core developments are just done:
- The main network loop for both client & server is complete & fully optimized;
- A nice message & network events API eases the modeling of elaborated protocols, with a fully working example/;
- The most performant reactive library & channels has been picked up, as determined by benches/;
- Only textual socket protocols are supported by now -- binary & shared mem IPCs to be added later;
- The API is not complete -- only "responsive" communications for Streams that generate non-fallible & non-future elements are supported by now.
