Elixir WebRTC, also known as ex_webrtc, is an implementation of the W3C WebRTC API written in Elixir.
It provides the protocols and media handling needed to establish WebRTC connections without relying on a browser implementation. This makes it suitable for server applications, media services, automated clients and other systems built on the BEAM ecosystem.
DataChannels are optional and are enabled through the ex_sctp package. The project continues to add WebRTC functionality while retaining an API that fits naturally into Elixir applications.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Implementation of the W3C WebRTC API.
- PeerConnection support.
- ICE connectivity establishment.
- STUN and TURN support.
- DTLS and SRTP media security.
- RTP and RTCP handling.
- Audio and video tracks.
- Session Description Protocol negotiation.
- Optional SCTP-based DataChannels.
- Designed for Elixir and the BEAM runtime.
