str0m is a WebRTC implementation using a Sans I/O architecture.
The library does not open sockets, start threads or require a particular asynchronous runtime. Instead, the application supplies incoming network data and sends the packets produced by str0m. This gives developers control over networking, scheduling and integration with the rest of their application.
str0m includes both SDP-based WebRTC negotiation and lower-level APIs for applications that need more direct control over media sessions.
This is free and open source software.
