It’s been a few Zig versions since I last did any UDP networking, and back then I used the zig-network library to abstract away the platform-specific implementations. But now, looking again at Zig 0.15 and possibly 0.16, I’m curious how much is natively available without the need for a library. s…

I’m using UDP in my project for 0.16.0-dev. In case you want to see it: GitHub - jovmarkovic/wg-forwarder at 0.16 0.16 WireGuard helper for seamless endpoint host switching but here are the parts of the code from there: It uses receive and send: std.Io.…

I’ve used Zig std.Io for making a small udp server for streaming h264, as a side project, don’t know if that helps : ustream Probably doesn’t compile with current master if I had to guess.

[image] nairou: Also, it looks like the zio library is getting a lot of attention as an I/O alternative, and has network functionality built-in. Is this because support is still lacking in the standard library? Or is zio more like a difference of opinion on API design from Zig? I’m the author…

Thanks for the reply! I gotta say, zio is looking very tempting, beyond just networking. :slight_smile:

Very helpful, thank you! Edit: So it look like Zig has all the necessary pieces, but they’re still mostly within posix rather than having platform-specific implementations.

FWIW, here’s another example for UDP networking based on std.Io.net : Reflected, the huge mahogany. Before, I had similar functionality from std.net and std.posix. Now especially std.posix is not required anymore, std.Io.net only draws very minimally from it. All in all, the new variant seems leane…
