nng - nanomsg-next-gen

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 quite preliminary.

This is a work in progress, and is not suitable for production use or publication. 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. On a Linux/UNIX system, you can for example do:

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

If you want to enable the TLS transport, which is not supported by legacy nanomsg, use -DNNG_TRANSPORT_TLS=ON in your cmake command line. You will need to have the ARM mbedTLS library installed. (This is available in Xenial Ubuntu as libmbedtls-dev).

The API is not yet documented, 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.
