§Metaverse Messages
This crate contains packet definitions for packets sent to and from open metaverse servers. The messages crate’s scope is to handle all parsing functionality for both incoming and outgoing packets on a metaverse server, allowing the same crate to be used for viewer and server applications.
§Goals
- Reflect as closely as possible the naming conventions and struct layout of existing open metaverse packets
- Efficiently decode into rust structs using sparing external types
- Maintain clear and complete documentation for all packets and fields
- Implement both encoding and decoding, allowing the crate to be used both in server and viewer applications
§Current Status
Work In Progress
This crate is under active development, and is not suitable for production use. APIs may change
frequently, and many protocol features are currently unimplemented.Modules§
