A network-based interprocess communication (IPC) library written in Rust.
NOTE: this is heavily under development and not everything is available. Anything version less than v0.1.0 is incomplete.
The station design is heavily influenced by ROS and
aims to create an interface with similar patterns. station can run either on
one machine or many machines and the networking protocol used to transmit
messages between processes is designed to be flexible.
The station module has several main types:
* Station: A Station tracks and managers all incoming and outgoing messages
on a machine and connects to other machines running station. There is
typically one instance of station running per machine.
* Process: A Process connects to the local station instance and registers
connections to pubsub topics and RPC channels.
* Publisher: Publish a message with the Serialize and Deserialize traits
to a topic.
* Subscriber: Subscribe to a topic and process messages via a callback.
* RpcServer: Listen for requests and send the result back to the sender.
* RpcClient Send requests to a server and wait for the response.
