Implementation of UdpSocket same as TcpStream

udp-stream

udp-stream is a Rust library that provides a simple API for handling streaming data over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), similar to TcpStream. It abstracts the complexities of working with UDP, such as handling packet fragmentation, reassembly, and flow control, making it easy for developers to send and receive continuous streams of data over UDP sockets especially when using DTLS protocol.

Features

• Stream-based: udp-stream provides an abstraction layer for handling UDP packets as a continuous stream of data, using a similar function signature as TcpStream in the tokio library. This allows developers familiar with tokio to leverage their existing knowledge to work with UDP in a similar manner.

• Lightweight: udp-stream has a small footprint and only depends on the tokio and bytes libraries, making it lightweight and easy to integrate into your existing projects.

Usage

To use udp-stream in your Rust project, simply add it as a dependency in your Cargo.toml file:

toml

udp-stream = "0.0.11"

Then, you can import and use the library in your Rust code:

rust

use std::{net::SocketAddr, str::FromStr};

use tokio::io::{AsyncReadExt, AsyncWriteExt};

use udp_stream::UdpStream;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let mut stream = UdpStream::connect(SocketAddr::from_str("127.0.0.1:8080")?).await?;
    println!("Ready to Connected to {}", &stream.peer_addr()?);
    let mut buffer = String::new();
    loop {
        std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut buffer)?;
        stream.write_all(buffer.as_bytes()).await?;
        let mut buf = vec![0u8; 1024];
        let n = stream.read(&mut buf).await?;
        print!("-> {}", String::from_utf8_lossy(&buf[..n]));
        buffer.clear();
    }
}
