@ucanto/transport

@ucanto/transport provides encoding, decoding, and transport mechanisms for UCAN-based RPC. It ensures reliable communication between clients and servers using standardized serialization formats.

What It Provides

• Pluggable Transport Layer: Supports multiple encoding formats like CAR and CBOR.
• Standardized Encoding: Ensures consistency in UCAN invocation serialization.
• Extensible Communication: Enables integration with various network protocols.

How It Fits with Other Modules

• @ucanto/core: Uses transport mechanisms for executing capabilities.
• @ucanto/server: Relies on transport modules for request handling.
• @ucanto/interface: Defines standard transport-related types.
• @ucanto/principal: Facilitates secure communication using identity-based encryption.

For an overview and detailed usage information, refer to the main ucanto README.

Installation

npm install @ucanto/transport

Example Usage

import * as CAR from '@ucanto/transport/car';
import * as CBOR from '@ucanto/transport/cbor';

const encoded = CAR.encode({ invocations: [] });
const decoded = CBOR.decode(encoded);
