Key Features:

RFC-compliant SIP core implementation
Highly portable C library with minimal dependencies
Handles SIP transaction and dialog state machines
Provides parser and generator for SIP messages

Use Cases:

Developing custom VoIP clients or servers
Building SIP-based communication features into applications
Creating network testing tools for SIP infrastructure

Alternatives:

PJSIP – PJSIP is a more comprehensive, all-in-one library including media, whereas Libosip is a leaner, focused SIP stack.
