A fast and stable [Constrained Application Protocol(CoAP)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252) library implemented in Rust.
[Documentation](http://covertness.github.io/coap-rs/coap/index.html)
## Installation
First add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
coap = "0.6"
```
Then, add this to your crate root:
```rust
extern crate coap;
```
## Example
### Server:
```rust
extern crate coap;
use std::io;
use coap::{CoAPServer, CoAPResponse, CoAPRequest, Method};
fn request_handler(request: CoAPRequest) -> Option<CoAPResponse> {
match request.get_method() {
&Method::Get => println!("request by get {}", request.get_path()),
&Method::Post => println!("request by post {}", String::from_utf8(request.message.payload).unwrap()),
_ => println!("request by other method"),
};
// Return the auto-generated response
request.response
}
fn main() {
let addr = "127.0.0.1:5683";
let mut server = CoAPServer::new(addr).unwrap();
server.handle(request_handler).unwrap();
println!("Server up on {}", addr);
println!("Press any key to stop...");
io::stdin().read_line(&mut String::new()).unwrap();
println!("Server shutdown");
}
```
### Client:
```rust
extern crate coap;
use coap::{CoAPClient, CoAPResponse};
fn main() {
let url = "coap://127.0.0.1:5683/Rust";
println!("Client request: {}", url);
let response = CoAPClient::get(url).unwrap();
println!("Server reply: {}", String::from_utf8(response.message.payload).unwrap());
}
```
## Benchmark
```bash
$ cargo run --example server
$ cargo bench
```
