# Connecting to Node(s)

You can access all the features of the `iota.rs` library using an instance of the `Client` class. The `Client` class
provides high-level abstraction to all interactions over IOTA network (Tangle). You have to instantiate this class
before you start any interactions with the library, or more precisely with the
[IOTA nodes](https://wiki.iota.org/chrysalis-docs/node_software) that power IOTA network.

The library is designed to automatically choose a starting IOTA node based on the network type you would like to
participate in: [`devnet`](https://wiki.iota.org/chrysalis-docs/devnet) or
[`mainnet`](https://wiki.iota.org/chrysalis-docs/mainnet).
