The core library for Delta Chat, written in Rust
</p>
The chatmail core library implements low-level network and encryption protocols,
integrated by many chat bots and higher level applications,
allowing to securely participate in the globally scaled e-mail server network.
We provide reproducibly-built `deltachat-rpc-server` static binaries
that offer a stdio-based high-level JSON-RPC API for instant messaging purposes.
The following protocols are handled without requiring API users to know much about them:
- secure TLS setup with DNS caching and shadowsocks/proxy support
- robust [SMTP](https://github.com/chatmail/async-imap)
and [IMAP](https://github.com/chatmail/async-smtp) handling
- safe and interoperable [MIME parsing](https://github.com/staktrace/mailparse)
and [MIME building](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-builder).
- security-audited end-to-end encryption with [rPGP](https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp)
and [Autocrypt and SecureJoin protocols](https://securejoin.rtfd.io)
- ephemeral [Peer-to-Peer networking using Iroh](https://iroh.computer) for multi-device setup and
[webxdc realtime data](https://delta.chat/en/2024-11-20-webxdc-realtime).
- a simulation- and real-world tested [P2P group membership
protocol without requiring server state](https://github.com/chatmail/models/tree/main/group-membership).
