discovery-swarm
A Node.js network swarm that uses discovery-channel to find and connect to peers over TCP or UTP.
What is discovery-swarm?
discovery-swarm is a Node.js module that implements a network swarm for peer-to-peer applications. It uses discovery-channel to find peers advertising the same channel key and manages the connection lifecycle between them, supporting both TCP and UTP protocols. It solves the problem of building decentralized networks where peers need to automatically discover and connect to each other without a central server.
Node.js developers building decentralized applications, peer-to-peer networks, or distributed systems that require automatic peer discovery and connection management.
Developers choose discovery-swarm for its simplicity, modular design, and tight integration with discovery-channel. It provides a robust, event-driven API for managing peer connections while abstracting away the complexity of peer discovery and network protocol handling.
