Pion WebRTC
A pure Go implementation of the WebRTC API
See DESIGN.md for an overview of features and future goals.
Breaking Changes
Pion WebRTC v2.0.0 has arrived! See the release notes to learn about new features and breaking changes.
Have any questions? Join the Slack channel to follow development and speak with the maintainers.
We are actively planning v2.1.0 and would love your feedback! Anyone can add issues, and anything that you think can empower Pion users.
Usage
Check out the example applications to help you along your Pion WebRTC journey.
For more full featured examples that use 3rd party libraries see our example-webrtc-applications repo.
The Pion WebRTC API closely matches the JavaScript WebRTC API. Most existing documentation is therefore also usefull when working with Pion. Furthermore, our GoDoc is actively maintained.
We maintain a FAQ with answers to common questions. If you have a question not covered please submit a PR, we would be happy to answer it!
Now go forth and build some awesome apps! Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- Send a video file to multiple browser in real time for perfectly synchronized movie watching.
- Send a webcam on an embedded device to your browser with no additional server required!
- Securely send data between two servers, without using pub/sub.
- Record your webcam and do special effects server side.
- Build a conferencing application that processes audio/video and make decisions off of it.
WebAssembly
Pion WebRTC can be used when compiled to WebAssembly, also known as Wasm. In
this case the library will act as a wrapper around the JavaScript WebRTC API.
This allows you to use WebRTC from Go in both server and browser side code with
little to no changes. Check out the
example applications for instructions on
how to compile and run the WebAssembly examples. You can also visit the
Wiki page on WebAssembly Development
for more information.
Roadmap
The library is in active development, please refer to the roadmap to track our major milestones.
