Decentralized Web Node (DWN)

A Rust-based implementation of the Decentralized Web Node specification, as ported from TBD's (now DIF's) TypeScript reference implementation.

[!CAUTION]

Experimental code!

The code in this repository is experimental and under active development.

While the library is near functionally complete, it has not yet had the hardening that comes with ongoing, real-world use.

Getting Started

[TODO] Example impementations can be found in the examples directory.

Additionally, the tests directory contains a comprehensive suite of tests that demonstrate a wide variety of usage scenarios.

Specification Conformance

The DWN specification lags somewhat behind the TBD/DIF (and this) implementation. The code incorporates learnings from active use that are yet to be reflected in the specification. As the specification makes its way from DRAFT to FINAL, our code will be updated to reflect differences.
