In the last few months I've been working for a GLib based SDK for
|
||
|
|
client applications that want to communicate with a Matrix.org
|
||
|
|
homeserver.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For whoever doesn't know it, Matrix is a decentralized network of
|
||
|
|
servers (Homeservers). Clients can connect to them via HTTP and send
|
||
|
|
messages (events, in Matrix terminology) to each other. They call them
|
||
|
|
events because these messages can be pretty much anything from instant
|
||
|
|
messages through automated notifications to files or, well, actual
|
||
|
|
events (like as a vCalendar); anything that you can serialize to JSON
|
||
|
|
can go through this network.
