About this title

Synopsis

Zig Network Programming is a practical guide to creating robust, high-performing networked systems with the Zig programming language. The book covers socket programming (TCP, UDP), nonblocking and asynchronous input/output patterns, protocol development (HTTP, WebSockets, custom binary protocols) and TLS integration. It also covers real-world techniques for creating low-latency server and network tools. You will learn how to utilize Zig's efficient memory management, allocators and compile-time features to create secure, portable and maintainable network code. The topics covered include cross compilation for network devices, zero copy buffers, connection pools, back pressure handling, network throughput benchmarking and profile, and integration with existing C network libraries. This book is ideal for system programmers, backend developers and embedded engineers who want to create scalable network services using Zig.
