nng - nanomsg-next-gen

MIT License Linux Status Windows Status Coverage

This repository represents a work in progress rewrite of the SP protocol library called "libnanomsg". This is pre-release, but at this point you can start using it for development, as we believe we are getting closer to release readiness.

Review and testing feedback are appreciated however; but please understand that the project is still preliminary.

This is a work in progress, and is not suitable for production use. When the library is ready for broader consumption, an announcement will be posted on the nanomsg mailing list and website.

Some manual pages are posted on GitHub pages.

If you are looking for the current production version of nanomsg, please see the nanomsg repo.

If you want to build and test yourself, you need CMake version 3.1, and you can use standard CMake build recipes. (We highly recommend using Ninja as it is much faster than traditional build systems.) On a Linux/UNIX system, if you have Ninja already installed, you can for example do:

  $ mkdir build
  $ cmake -G Ninja ..
  $ ninja
  $ ninja test

This library can be compiled with support for TLS, which enables the use of the "tls+tcp://" and "wss://" schemes. In order to this, configure with -DNNG_ENABLE_TLS=ON.

Note
The NNG_ENABLE_TLS library depends on the ARM mbedTLS library. This library is available in packaged form for many systems, and can be built for just about any of the others. However, please be aware of the licensing implications, because the mbedTLS library carries other licensing requirements (either Apache or GPL) than nng. either Apache or GPL licenses.

Documentation is a work in progres — initial pages are online, but there is much missing. You can also explore the nng.h header file, which provides the public API. A legacy compatible nng_compat.h header is available and offers API compatibility with legacy nanomsg.
