Dyad.c is a lightweight, portable asynchronous networking library for C, distributed as just two source files. It supports building small TCP servers and clients with an event-listener API.

Use cases

  • write an async TCP server in C
  • add networking to an existing C project
  • build a simple echo server
  • connect to a TCP service from C
  • embed lightweight socket handling in a game or tool

When to choose

  • you need a tiny, dependency-free C networking layer
  • you want event-driven TCP sockets that compile anywhere
  • you prefer dropping two files into your project over pulling in libuv

When to avoid

  • you need high-performance, production-grade async I/O at scale
  • you need TLS/SSL support out of the box
  • you need UDP or higher-level protocols like HTTP
