line-mesh

line-mesh is a lightweight communication library that bears non-blocking interface and p2p scalable architecture. line-mesh is the cousin of line, they share very similar apis. line internally monitors connection health, and it pro-actively strives to achieve a stable connection.

line runs on Node.JS and all modern browsers through an identical API. Therefore, it is a good candidate for cross-platform applications.
