libdatachannel is a standalone implementation of WebRTC Data Channels, WebRTC Media Transport, and WebSockets in C++17 with C bindings for POSIX platforms (including GNU/Linux, Android, and Apple macOS) and Microsoft Windows.

-The library aims at being both straightforward and lightweight with a minimum of external dependencies, to enable direct connectivity between native applications and web browsers without the pain of importing Google's bloated [reference library](https://webrtc.googlesource.com/src/). The interface consists of somewhat simplified versions of the JavaScript WebRTC and WebSocket APIs present in browsers, in order to ease the design of cross-environment applications.
