correspondent is a high-level networking library which facilitates a
non-hierarchical network of peers to send messages.

correspondent uses
[DNS-SD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking#DNS-based_service_discovery)
to discover peers on the local network.

correspondent uses [Quinn](https://github.com/quinn-rs/quinn), an
implementation of the QUIC protocol, as a transport layer.

See `examples/chat.rs` for a simple example application.
