libskynet

libskynet is a node module targeted at low level skynet developers. libskynet provides helper methods that make it easier to manipulate base skynet primitives like skylinks and to work with things like download and registry proofs that are sent by the portal.

Most developers building applications on Skynet should use libkernel instead of libskynet.

One quirk of libskynet is that errors always use the type string | null rather than being type Error. This is because the errors often need to be sent over postmessage, and the Error type cannot be sent over postmessage.

libskynet is still unstable. We are trying to minimize the total number of breaking changes and expect to be able to offer strong compatibility changes soon.
