Eclipse zenoh Go API

Eclipse zenoh is an extremely efficient and fault-tolerant Named Data Networking (NDN) protocol that is able to scale down to extremely constrainded devices and networks.

⚠️ zenoh has been subjet to a complete rewrite with major protocol updates between versions 0.4.2 and 0.5.0. The Go API does not yet integrate those changes and is only compatible with version 0.4.2 of the zenoh daemon and the underlying zenoh-c stack.

The Go API is for pure clients, in other terms does not support peer-to-peer communication, can be easily tested against a zenoh router running in a Docker container (see https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh#how-to-test-it).

Running the Examples

The simplest way to run some of the example is to get a Docker image of the zenoh network router (see https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh#how-to-test-it) and then to run the examples on your machine.

Then, run the zenoh-go examples following the instructions in examples/zenoh/README.md
