# 🕊️ Palombe [](https://crates.io/crates/palombe) Palombe lets you send and receive key/value messages synchronously through different processes using named pipes. ## Quick example ```rust extern create palombe; fn main() { std::thread::spawn(|| send("foo", "bar")); assert_eq!(receive("foo"), "bar"); } ``` Acknowledgments --------------- :warning: This tool is not suited for building software, it is intended to be used only in rapid prototyping and first product development steps! C-bindings that expose Palombe have no UTF8 support (because it uses `CString` that are FFI-Safe), so `base64` could be a good encoding for sharing complex datatypes ... If you looking for a better / faster / safer way to share typed (yes you want that) data across different processes, take a look at [GoogleProtocal Buffer](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/) or even better at [Cap’n Proto](https://capnproto.org/) (which is infinitely faster). Supported environments ---------------------- The tool is embed into modules targeting several environments: - ECMAScript: [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/palombe) \| [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/fr/package/palombe) ([Sources](https://github.com/yvan-sraka/palombe-node)) - Python: [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/palombe/) ([Sources](https://github.com/yvan-sraka/palombe-python)) - Ruby: [RubyGem.org](https://rubygems.org/gems/palombe) ([Sources](https://github.com/yvan-sraka/palombe-ruby)) - Rust: [Crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/palombe) ([Sources](https://github.com/yvan-sraka/palombe-rust)) Contributing ------------ Please read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/yvan-sraka/Palombe/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on our code of conduct, and the process for submitting a pull requests to us.
