Azorian is a library implementing the multiformat specifications in C11. Azorian aims to be clean and lightweight - both on system resources and dependency chains.

Currently, to build just the library, no additional dependencies are required - just the C standard library. To build the tests, the Unity C unit testing framework is needed.

Azorian is still in early development and, as such, is unstable right now. Codecs for most of the multiformats are already implemented though. Once stable, Azorian is ideal for C or C++ implementations of libp2p, full IPFS implementations, or any other project which might want to exploit the power of the multiformat specifications for future-proof, self-describing data formats.
