nng - nanomsg-NG

This repository represents a work in progress rewrite of the SP protocol library called "libnanomsg". The work is being done by Garrett D’Amore, and at this juncture he is not yet soliciting implementation assistance; that said if you want to help with this project please file an issue with details about what you’d like to do, and you will be contacted.

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

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

Draft documentation is 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. On a Linux/UNIX system, you can for example do:

  $ mkdir build
  $ cmake ..
  $ make
  $ make test

The API is not yet stable, but if you want to explore using the newer API, pleaes have a look at the nng.h header file. A legacy compatible nng_compat.h header is available and offers API compatibility with legacy nanomsg.
