Noosphere

This is the entrypoint for most language-specific distributable packages the deal with accessing the Noosphere. It contains language-specific bindings and platform-sensitive behavior to provide a common set of high-level APIs.

Building Headers

To build the C FFI headers:

cargo run --features=headers --example generate_header

lib.rs:

This crate is a high-level entrypoint for embedders of the Noosphere protocol. Embedders may use [NoosphereContext] to initialize a singleton that enables manaing spheres, including creating new ones and joining existing ones.

    storage: NoosphereStorage {
        path: NoosphereStoragePath::Scoped("/path/to/block/storage".into()),
