  • Single-threaded, asynchronous, non-blocking core with simple event-based API
  • Native support for PicoTCP embedded TCP/IP stack, LWIP embedded TCP/IP stack
  • Built-in protocols:
    • plain TCP, plain UDP, SSL/TLS (over TCP, one-way or two-way)
    • HTTP client and server
    • WebSocket client and server
    • MQTT client and server
    • CoAP client and server
    • DNS client and server
    • asynchronous DNS resolver
  • Tiny static and run-time footprint
  • Source code is both ISO C and ISO C++ compliant
