//! Crate to handle high level networking of messages with different
//! requirements and priorities over a number of protocols
//!
//! To start with the `veloren_network` crate you should focus on the 3
//! elementar structs [`Network`], [`Participant`] and [`Stream`].
//!
//! Say you have an application that wants to communicate with other application
//! over a Network or on the same computer. Now each application instances the
//! struct [`Network`] once with a new [`Pid`]. The Pid is necessary to identify
//! other [`Networks`] over the network protocols (e.g. TCP, UDP, QUIC, MPSC)
//!
//! To connect to another application, you must know it's [`ConnectAddr`]. One
//! side will call [`connect`], the other [`connected`]. If successful both
//! applications will now get a [`Participant`].
//!
//! This [`Participant`] represents the connection between those 2 applications.
//! over the respective [`ConnectAddr`] and with it the chosen network
//! protocol. However messages can't be send directly via [`Participants`],
//! instead you must open a [`Stream`] on it. Like above, one side has to call
//! [`open`], the other [`opened`]. [`Streams`] can have a different priority
//! and [`Promises`].
//!
//! You can now use the [`Stream`] to [`send`] and [`recv`] in both directions.
//! You can send all kind of messages that implement [`serde`].
//! As the receiving side needs to know the format, it sometimes is useful to
//! always send a specific Enum and then handling it with a big `match`
//! statement This create makes heavily use of `async`, except for [`send`]
//! which returns always directly.
//!
//! For best practices see the `examples` folder of this crate containing useful
//! code snippets, a simple client/server below. Of course due to the async
//! nature, no strict client server separation is necessary
//!
//! # Examples
//! ```rust
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use tokio::{join, runtime::Runtime, time::sleep};
//! use veloren_network::{ConnectAddr, ListenAddr, Network, Pid, Promises};
//!
//! // Client
//! async fn client(runtime: &Runtime) -> std::result::Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(1)).await; // `connect` MUST be after `listen`
//! let client_network = Network::new(Pid::new(), runtime);
//! let server = client_network
//! .connect(ConnectAddr::Tcp("127.0.0.1:12345".parse().unwrap()))
//! .await?;
//! let mut stream = server
//! .open(4, Promises::ORDERED | Promises::CONSISTENCY, 0)
//! .await?;
//! stream.send("Hello World")?;
//! Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! // Server
//! async fn server(runtime: &Runtime) -> std::result::Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let server_network = Network::new(Pid::new(), runtime);
//! server_network
//! .listen(ListenAddr::Tcp("127.0.0.1:12345".parse().unwrap()))
//! .await?;
//! let client = server_network.connected().await?;
//! let mut stream = client.opened().await?;
//! let msg: String = stream.recv().await?;
//! println!("Got message: {}", msg);
//! assert_eq!(msg, "Hello World");
//! Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! fn main() -> std::result::Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let runtime = Runtime::new().unwrap();
//! runtime.block_on(async {
//! let (result_c, result_s) = join!(client(&runtime), server(&runtime),);
//! result_c?;
//! result_s?;
//! Ok(())
//! })
//! }
