| 2 | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | ndn-cpp is a new implementation of a Named Data Networking client library written in C++ and C. |
| 5 | It is wire format compatible with NDNx. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ndn-cpp is open source under a license described in the file COPYING. While the license |
| 8 | does not require it, we really would appreciate it if others would share their |
| 9 | contributions to the library if they are willing to do so under the same license. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | See the file INSTALL for build and install instructions. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Please ubmit any bugs or issues to the ndn-cpp issue tracker: |

| 18 | The library currently requires a remote NDN daemon, and has been tested with ndnd, from |
| 19 | the NDNx package: https://github.com/named-data/ndnx . |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Currently, the library has two APIs for developers: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | 1. The C++ API which follows the NDN Common Client Library API also used by ndn-js (JavaScript) |
| 24 | and PyNDN (Python). |
| 25 | |
| 26 | 2. A core C library implementing lower-level encoding and communication. Applications should normally |
| 27 | use the C++ API, but core C code will also function on embedded devices and other environments |
| 28 | which don't have C++ support. |
