Why is this archived?

because the odin language (finally) decided to add a networking library in the core packages I initially made this library because I wanted use odin to write programs that required networking features, and I did not want to use raw C bindings

Example

here is a basic example of a TCP client using net.odin

// basic example of the usage of net.odin
package example

import "core:fmt"
// you may change the import path to wherever you put the library.
import net "../"

main :: proc () {
    // connecting to the remote host.
    conn, ok := net.tcp_connect(":6969")
    if !ok {
        fmt.println("failed to connect")
        return
    }
    // make sure to close the socket once you're done with it.
    defer net.close(conn)
    
    // writing to the remote host.
    _, ok = net.write_string(conn, "hey")
    if !ok {
        fmt.println("failed to write")
        return
    }
    
    // reading incoming data from the remote host.
    str, ok2 := net.read_string(conn)
    if !ok2 {
        fmt.println("failed to read")
        return
    }
    
    // printing the received data.
    fmt.println(str)
}
