# wasmCloud Control Interface Client
This library is a convenient API for interacting with the lattice control interface. This is a Rust crate that implements the [lattice control protocol](https://wasmcloud.com/reference/lattice-protocols/control-interface/) as described in the wasmCloud reference documentation.
The lattice control interface provides a way for clients to interact with the lattice to issue control commands and queries. This interface is a message broker protocol that supports functionality like starting and stopping components and providers, declaring link definitions, monitoring lattice events, holding auctions to determine scheduling compatibility, and more.
