Pion WebRTC is a pure Go implementation of the WebRTC API.
It provides developers with the protocols required to build real-time audio, video and data applications without embedding a browser or linking against Google’s native WebRTC implementation. Applications can work directly with RTP and RTCP while still using higher-level WebRTC concepts such as PeerConnection and DataChannels.
Because Pion is implemented in Go, it can be used across servers, desktops, mobile platforms and WebAssembly from the same codebase. It is also used as a foundation by a number of other open source real-time communication projects.
This is free and open source software.
