nematic vs nex-protocol vs errand
Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
49
nematic
experimentalv0.1.0
Portable smolweb rendering engine — Gemini, Gopher, Markdown, feeds, and the knot note format, lowered to the inker document model.
47
nex-protocol
experimentalv0.1.1
An implementation of the Nex protocol (nex://): async client, directory-serving server, listing parser, and a CLI. The minimal smolweb protocol — plaintext TCP, no TLS, no status codes.
45
errand
experimentalv0.1.3
Async small-web (smolweb) transport: gemini, gopher, finger, spartan, nex, guppy, and titan in one scheme-routed fetch, plus titan-upload and misfin-send write companions. Bytes in, bytes out, no HTTP, host-agnostic.
