This is the landing page for NNG.

The Reference Manual is available for browsing xref:/man/index.adoc[here].

You can also support the development and documentation efforts for
NNG by purchasing your own copy of the
http://staysail.tech/books/nng_reference/[NNG Reference Manual].

Here is the xref:RATIONALE.adoc[rationale] behind the creation of _nng_.

My presentation, https://staysail.github.io/nng_presentation/nng_presentation.html[Scalability Protocols], from February 2018, also has some more detail
about these protocols and NNG in particular.

Please see the https://github.com/nanomsg/nng[GitHub Repository] for further information.
