Crate channel_protocol

Channel Protocol

This protocol is used to send and receive CBOR-encoded channel based messages over UDP. Each message consists of three parts: channel ID, message name, message payload, all contained in a cbor array.

{ channel_id, name, payload.. }

The channel ID is typically used to group all messages related to a transaction or logical action. An example would be all messages related to uploading a single file. The message name is used to determine the type of message. The message payload contains any other message data.

Examples

use channel_protocol::*;

let channel_proto = ChannelProtocol::new(
                        &"0.0.0.0:0".to_owned(),
                        &"127.0.0.1:8000".to_owned(),
                        4096);

let message = vec![0, 1, 1, 2];

channel_proto.send(message);
match channel_proto.recv_message(None) {
    Ok(message) => println!("Received: {:?}", message),
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Error receiving: {}", e)
}
