hyprwire

A fast and consistent wire protocol for IPC

What is hyprwire

Hyprwire is a fast and consistent wire protocol, and its implementation. This is essentially a "method" for processes to talk to each other.

How does hyprwire differ from other things?

Hyprwire is heavily inspired by Wayland, and heavily anti-inspired by D-Bus.

Hyprwire is:

• Strict: both sides need to be on the same page to communicate. No "random data" is allowed.
• Fast: initial handshakes are very simple and allow for quick information exchange (including one-shot operations)
• Simple to use: the API uses modern C++ and abstracts away any memory-sensitive operations
• Simple internally: the protocol itself is simple and straightforward to parse / write your own implementation
