zSockets is a from-scratch zig implementation of the µSockets library. The name is a play on µSockets, where the "µ" represents the metric prefix for micro (1e−6); here, the z represents the metric prefix for zepto (1e-21) and the Zig programming language.

Clone the repository and its submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:cryptodeal/zSockets.git

Once cloned, recursively init submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

To build with boringssl and quic:

zig build -DUSE_BORINGSSL -DUSE_QUIC

To test with boringssl and quic:

zig build test -DUSE_BORINGSSL -DUSE_QUIC

Ensure that you've cloned the repository and its submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:cryptodeal/zSockets.git

zig build echo_server

In another terminal:

curl localhost:3000

zig build hammer_test

# args: <connections> <host> <port>
zig build http_load_test -- 10000 127.0.0.1 3000

zig build http_server

In browser navigate to localhost:3000

# args: <connections> <host> <port>
zig build tcp_load_test -- 10000 127.0.0.1 3000

zig build tcp_server

In another terminal:

nc 127.0.0.1 3000

While the library and internal logic was originally based on uSockets, the user-facing APIs will vary significantly from uSockets in order to better align with Zig's philosophy. The library is currently in the VERY early stages of development, is un-tested, and should not yet be used in production.
