## Overview

`msg-rs` is a messaging library that was inspired by projects like [ZeroMQ](https://zeromq.org/) and [Nanomsg](https://nanomsg.org/).

It was built because we needed a Rust-native messaging library like those above.

## Documentation

The 📖 [MSG-RS Book][book] contains detailed information on how to use the library.

## Features

- Multiple socket types

  - [x] Request/Reply

  - [x] Publish/Subscribe

- Pluggable transport layers

  - [x] TCP

  - [x] QUIC

  - [x] IPC

- Useful stats: latency, throughput, packet drops

- Durable IO abstraction (built-in retries and reconnections)

- Custom wire protocol with support for authentication and compression

- Network simulation mode with dummynet & pfctl

- Extensive benchmarks

- Integration tests

## MSRV

The minimum supported Rust version is 1.75.
