🎯 Quick Start

Basic Envelope Usage (Native Types)

use umicp_core::{Envelope, OperationType};
use serde_json::json;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a UMICP envelope with native types
    let envelope = Envelope::builder()
        .from("client-001")
        .to("server-001")
        .operation(OperationType::Data)
        .message_id("msg-12345")
        .capability("count", json!(42))           // Native number!
        .capability("enabled", json!(true))        // Native boolean!
        .capability("tags", json!(["rust", "umicp"]))  // Native array!
        .capability_str("message", "Hello!")      // String convenience method
        .build()?;

    // Serialize for transmission
    let serialized = envelope.serialize()?;
    
    // Deserialize received data
    let received = Envelope::deserialize(&serialized)?;
    
    // Access native types
    if let Some(caps) = received.capabilities() {
        println!("Count: {}", caps["count"].as_i64().unwrap());  // 42
        println!("Enabled: {}", caps["enabled"].as_bool().unwrap());  // true
        println!("Tags: {:?}", caps["tags"].as_array().unwrap());
    }
    
    Ok(())
}

WebSocket Client (Basic)

use umicp_core::{WebSocketClient, Envelope, OperationType};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create client
    let client = WebSocketClient::new("ws://localhost:8080");
    
    // Connect
    client.connect().await?;
    println!("Connected!");
    
    // Send message
    let envelope = Envelope::builder()
        .from("rust-client")
        .to("server")
        .operation(OperationType::Data)
        .capability("message", "Hello from Rust!")
        .build()?;
    
    client.send(envelope).await?;
    println!("Message sent!");
    
    // Get statistics
    let stats = client.get_stats();
    println!("Messages sent: {}", stats.messages_sent);
    println!("Bytes sent: {}", stats.bytes_sent);
    
    // Disconnect
    client.disconnect().await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Matrix Operations

use umicp_core::Matrix;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut matrix = Matrix::new();

    // Vector operations
    let vector1 = vec![1.0f32, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0];
    let vector2 = vec![5.0f32, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0];
    let mut result = vec![0.0f32; 4];

    // Vector addition
    matrix.vector_add(&vector1, &vector2, &mut result)?;
    println!("Addition result: {:?}", result); // [6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0]

    // Dot product
    let dot_product = matrix.dot_product(&vector1, &vector2)?;
    println!("Dot product: {:?}", dot_product.result); // 70.0

    // Cosine similarity
    let similarity = matrix.cosine_similarity(&vector1, &vector2)?;
    println!("Similarity: {:?}", similarity.similarity);

    Ok(())
}
