+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, FreeBSD, Apple macOS and iOS) and Microsoft Windows. WebRTC is a W3C and IETF standard enabling real-time peer-to-peer data and media exchange between two devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The library aims at being both straightforward and lightweight with minimal 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.

### WebRTC Data Channels and Media Transport

-The library implements WebRTC Peer Connections with both Data Channels and Media Transport. Media transport is optional and can be disabled at compile time.

+WebRTC allows real-time data and media exchange between two devices through a Peer Connection (or RTCPeerConnection), a signaled peer-to-peer connection which can carry both Data Channels and media tracks. It is compatible with browsers Firefox, Chromium, and Safari, and other WebRTC libraries (see [webrtc-echoes](https://github.com/sipsorcery/webrtc-echoes)). Media transport is optional and can be disabled at compile time.
