//! A thin client for sending and receiving messages via a Katzenpost
//! mix network.
//!
//! This crate provides a thin client library for interacting with a
//! Katzenpost mixnet, suitable for desktop and mobile applications.
//!
//! A mix network is a type of anonymous communications network.
//! What's a thin client library? It's code you can use as a
//! dependency in your application so that it can interact with
//! services on the mix network. The Katzenpost client daemon is a
//! multiplexing client; many applications on the same device can use
//! their thin client libraries to connect to the daemon and interact
//! with mixnet services concurrently.
//!
//! # See Also
