ZeroTier SDK: Embed ZeroTier directly into your app

ZeroTier makes it easy to securely connect devices, servers, cloud VMs, containers, and apps everywhere and manage them at scale. Now, with the SDK you can bake this ability directly into your application or service using your preferred language. We provide a BSD socket-like API to make the integration simple.

Example

char *str = "welcome to the machine";
char *nwid = "c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2";

zts_simple_start("./zt", nwid);
if((fd = zts_socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) {
	printf("error creating ZeroTier socket");
}
if((err = zts_connect(fd, (const struct sockaddr *)addr, sizeof(addr))) < 0) {
	printf("error (%d) connecting to remote host\n", err);
}
int wrote = zts_write(fd, str, strlen(str));
zts_close(fd);

Bindings also exist for many popular languages and platforms.
