tx5

Tx5 - The main holochain tx5 webrtc networking crate.

WebRTC Backend Features

Tx5 can be backed currently by 1 of 2 backend webrtc libraries.

• *DEFAULT* backend-go-pion - The pion webrtc library writen in go (golang).
  • https://github.com/pion/webrtc
• backend-webrtc-rs - The rust webrtc library.
  • https://github.com/webrtc-rs/webrtc

The go pion library is currently the default as it is more mature and well tested, but comes with some overhead of calling into a different memory/runtime. When the rust library is stable enough for holochain's needs, we will switch the default. To switch now, or if you want to make sure the backend doesn't change out from under you, set no-default-features and explicitly enable the backend of your choice.
