Minuscule eventing, networking, and crypto for async applications

uSockets is the cross-platform async networking and eventing foundation library.

Features

  • Built-in optionally available TLS support exposed with identical interface as for TCP.
  • Acknowledges and integrates with any event-loop via a layered hierarchical design of plugins.
  • Extremely pedantic about user space memory footprint and designed to perform as good as can be.
  • Designed from scratch to map well to user space TCP stacks or other experimental platforms.
  • Low resolution timer system ideal for performant tracking of networking timeouts.
  • Minimal yet truly cross-platform, will not emit a billion different platform specific error codes.
  • Fully opaque library, inclusion will not completely pollute your global namespace.
