What is MeshLink?

MeshLink is a library that allows applications to connect to other instances of itself, and exchange messages in a secure way. MeshLink provides end-to-end encryption and authentication of messages with perfect forward secrecy. The MeshLink library starts its own thread which handles all network communications. The application only needs to register callbacks to get notified of incoming messages and other important events. MeshLink makes it very easy to invite new nodes to join the mesh.
