# Nim-FFI FURPS
|
|
|
|
## Functionality
|
|
|
|
1. Provides the core logic needed to expose any synchronous or asynchronous Nim library to a C-FFI library.
|
|
|
|
## Usability
|
|
|
|
1. Introduce new pragma definitions, such as `{.ffi.}`, to appropriately annotate types and procedures.
|
|
2. Any Nim project can use it and can be installed using Nimble,
|
|
similarly to how nim-chronos is imported.
|
|
3. The interaction with the exposed C library can be done using JSON.
|
|
4. The interaction with the exposed C library can be done using protobuf.
|
|
|
|
## Reliability
|
|
|
|
1. Nim-FFI does not leak memory.
|
|
2. The exposed C library never hangs when working asynchronously.
|
|
|
|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
## Supportability
|
|
|
|
1. The exposed C library can be used in Golang.
|
|
2. The exposed C library can be used in Rust.
|
|
3. The exposed C library can be used in Python.
|
|
|
|
## + (Privacy, Anonymity, Deployments)
|
|
|
|
1. `nwaku` repository uses `nim-ffi` to expose the existing `libwaku` functionality.
