About:
Libre is a modular, asynchronous networking and protocol stack library written in C. It provides a robust foundation for building real-time communication applications by handling low-level network I/O and common protocols. Its primary value is offering a lightweight, portable, and efficient toolkit for developers creating VoIP and multimedia solutions.
Key Features:
  • Asynchronous event and I/O handling
  • Support for TCP, UDP, TLS, and HTTP
  • Modular architecture for easy integration
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Building custom VoIP clients and servers
  • Developing real-time communication applications
  • Creating networked embedded systems
Alternatives:
  • libuv – Focuses solely on async I/O, whereas Libre includes higher-level protocol stacks.
  • Boost.Asio – C++ library requiring Boost, while Libre is a lightweight C library.
