About this project

LibP2PCore is the foundational library for the swift-libp2p project, providing the core interfaces, protocols, and abstractions needed to build peer-to-peer networking applications in Swift. It implements key components from the LibP2P specification, including PeerID for peer identification, Multiaddr for multi-protocol addressing, and connection management built on top of Swift-NIO. The library is distributed via Swift Package Manager and can be easily integrated into any Swift project by adding it as a dependency in Package.swift. It serves as a dependency for other swift-libp2p modules and provides the building blocks for constructing decentralized, peer-to-peer network applications. The project is licensed under MIT and welcomes contributions. The maintainers describe the code as a proof of concept and encourage suggestions, improvements, and critiques to make the codebase better. For more details on the underlying protocol, the LibP2P specification is referenced as the authoritative source.
