It is also designed to be easy to port to new platforms +if your platform is not already supported. + +== License + +NNG is licensed under a liberal, and commercial friendly, MIT license. +The goal to the license is to minimize friction in adoption, use, and +contribution. + +== Enhancements (Relative to nanomsg) + +Here are areas where this project improves on "nanomsg": + +[horizontal] +*Reliability*:: NNG is designed for production use from the beginning. Every +error case is considered, and it is designed to avoid crashing except in cases +of gross developer error. (Hopefully we don't have any of these in our own +code.) + +*Scalability*:: NNG scales out to engage multiple cores using a bespoke +asynchronous I/O framework, using thread pools to spread load without +exceeding typical system limits. + +*Maintainability*:: NNG's architecture is designed to be modular and +easily grasped by developers unfamiliar with the code base. The code +is also well documented. + +*Extensibility*:: Because it avoids ties to file descriptors, and avoids +confusing interlocking state machines, it is easier to add new protocols +and transports to NNG. This was demonstrated by the addition of the +TLS and ZeroTier transports. -While we have made every reasonable effort to ensure that this library -is robust and safe, it is still a *pre-release*, and details are subject -to change. Caution is advised before depending upon it. +*Security*:: NNG provides TLS 1.2 and ZeroTier transports, offering +support for robust and industry standard authentication and encryption. +In addition, it is hardened to be resilient against malicious attackers, +with special consideration given to use in a hostile Internet. -NOTE: We're getting pretty close to removing this caveat though, -and we'd like help from others in testing to further improve our confidence -before we do. +*Usability*:: NNG eschews slavish adherence parts of the more complex and +less well understood POSIX APIs, while adopting the semantics that are +familiar and useful. New APIs are intuitive, and the optional support +for separating protocol context and state from sockets makes creating +concurrent applications vastly simpler than previously possible. -When the library is ready for broader consumption, an -announcement will be posted on the nanomsg mailing list and website. +== Compatibility -If you are looking for the current production version of nanomsg, please -see the https://github.com/nanomsg/nanomsg[nanomsg repo]. +This project offers both wire compatibility and API compability, +so most nanomsg users can begin using NNG right away. -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 -https://ninja-build.org[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: +Existing nanomsg and github.com/go-mangos/mangos[mangos] applications +can interoperate with NNG applications automatically. + +That said, there are some areas where legacy nanomsg still offers +capabilities NNG lacks -- specifically enhanced observability with +statistics, and tunable prioritization of different destinations +are missing, but will be added in a future release. + +Additionally, some API capabilities that are useful for foreign +language bindings are not implemented yet. + +Some simple single threaded, synchronous applications may perform better under +legacy nanomsg than under NNG. (We believe that these applications are the +least commonly deployed, and least interesting from a performance perspective. +NNG's internal design is slightly less efficient in such scenarios, but it +greatly benefits when concurrency or when multiple sockets or network peers +are involved.) + +== Supported Platforms + +NNG supports Linux, macOS, Windows (Vista or better), illumos, Solaris, +FreeBSD, Android, and iOS. Most other POSIX platforms should work out of +the box but have not been tested. Very old versions of otherwise supported +platforms might not work. + +== Requirements + +To build this project, you will need a C99 compatible compiler and +http://www.cmake.org[CMake] version 3.1 or newer. + +We recommend using the https://ninja-build.org[Ninja] build +system (pass "-G Ninja" to CMake) when you can. +(And not just because Ninja sounds like "NNG" -- it's also +blindingly fast and has made our lives as developers measurably better.) + +If you want to build with TLS support you will also need +https://tls.mbed.org[mbedTLS].

brokerless library, +offering a simple API to solve common recurring messaging problems, +such as publish/subscribe, RPC-style request/reply, or service discovery. +The API frees the programmer from worrying about details like connection +management, retries, and other comomon considerations, so that they +can focus on the application instead of the plumbing.</p> +</div> +<div class="paragraph"> +<p>NNG is implemented in C, requiring only C99 and CMake to build. +It can be built as a shared or a static library, and is readily +embeddable.
