message-io is a Rust library that provides a fast, event-driven networking API over TCP, UDP, and WebSocket transports. It manages OS sockets, threads, and asynchrony internally, exposing a simple message/endpoint abstraction so the transport can be swapped in one line.

Use cases

• build a TCP server that handles thousands of concurrent connections
• send and receive messages over UDP with multicast support
• write a WebSocket client or server with a simple event API
• swap transport protocols without rewriting application logic
• implement an actor-style message-driven application in Rust
• avoid manual thread and non-blocking socket management

When to choose

• you want a simple, unified event-driven API over multiple transports in Rust
• you need scalable non-blocking socket handling without writing async runtime code yourself
• you want to switch between TCP, UDP, or WebSocket with minimal code changes

When to avoid

• you need TLS-secured WebSockets, which are not yet supported
• you are already committed to an async ecosystem like Tokio and want deep integration with it
• you need application-level protocols, serialization, or higher-level RPC features
