Mozilla and Humble Bundle have teamed up to release HumbleNet, a C API that wraps WebRTC and WebSockets and hides away all the platform differences between browser and non-browser platforms.
Starting as a project in 2015 to support an initiative to port peer-to-peer multiplayer games in asm.js and WebAssembly, Mozilla identified the need for UDP networking support for web games and partnered with Humble Bundle to release the project as open source.
But why does the world need another networking library? According to Mozilla:
You can find pre-built redistributables at https://humblenet.github.io/ with binaries for Linux, macOS, Windows, a C# wrapper, Unity3D plugin, and emscripten for targeting asm.js or WebAssembly.
