Internet

Internet is a network library that provides encoding, structure mapping, communication primitives and implementations of network standards, protocols and algorithms in one place.

Development Status — August 2026

The project is days old. Much of the current roughness consists of "hot pie" defects — surface imperfections that smooth out as the codebase cools.

We expect the API to harden significantly by 20 August 2026. Until then, treat every release as potentially breaking and pin your dependency to an exact version if you are experimenting early.

Protocol Support

How to read this table

Legend	Meaning
Phase
✅ Supported	Ready for use. The API is stabilized and covered by tests.
❄️ Cooling	Nearly ✅ Supported
🚧 Developing	Actively worked on. Core functionality is there, but with known limitations.
📋 Planned	Next in queue. Development has not started yet.
Encoding / Mapping
Complete	Implemented and tested.
Partial	Available but incomplete (draft quality or missing features).
Planned	Will be delivered when the protocol reaches the front of the queue.
Stability
Stable	Production-ready, API frozen.
Beta	Mostly complete, minor API changes possible.
Alpha	Functional, but expect breakage.
Experimental	Exists, but not yet verified or battle-tested.
Unstable	Under active refactoring; things will move around.
