NanoSync is a priority-based data sharing java application which lets us share data between multiple nodes simultaneously using NanoHttpd. Priorities are based on the type of file.
NanoHttpd is an open-source, small-footprint web server that is suitable for embedding in applications, written in the Java programming language. The source code consists of a single .java file. It can be used as a library component in developing other software (such as measurement, science and database applications) or as a standalone ad-hoc style HTTP daemon for serving files.

- Only one Java file, providing HTTP 1.1 support.
