Netkit

Build Status Build Status

Netkit hopes to serve as a versatile network development kit, providing tools commonly used in network programming. Netkit should be out of the box, stable and secure. Netkit contains a number of commonly used network programming tools, such as TCP, UDP, TLS, HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket and related utilities.

Netkit is not intended to be a high-level productivity development tool, but rather a reliable and efficient network infrastructure. Netkit consists of several submodules, each of which provides some network tools.

Now, Netkit is under active development.

A new IO engine, inspired by Netty, which has a (selector) loop pool in multi-thread non-blocking mode, is being developed in devel branch. Indeed, we are no longer satisfied with the IO engine in standard library.

Run Test

There is a script that automatically runs tests. Check config.nims for details. $ nim test -d:modules=<file_name> tests the specified file, for example, $ nim test -d:modules=tbuffer tests the file tests/tbuffer.nim. $ nimble test tests all test files in the tests directory.

Make Documentation

There is a script that automatically generate documentation. Check config.nims for details. $ nim docs -d:lang=en generates documentation for the source code, an English version. $ nimble docs -d:lang=zh generates a Chinese version of the documentation. $ nim docs generates both English version and Chinese version for the documentation.

The code comments are written in English. The Chinese version of these comments is placed in ${projectDir}/doc/zh/code.
