ToriRs

ToriRs is a software library designed for the Rust programming language, aimed at providing a high-level, easy-to-use interface for working with the Tor network. Tor is an anonymity network that allows users to browse the internet anonymously by routing their traffic through a series of volunteer-operated servers. ToriRs facilitates the integration of Tor functionality into Rust applications, enabling developers to build applications that can communicate over the Tor network with minimal effort.

The library abstracts away the complexities of managing Tor connections, providing a straightforward API for tasks such as establishing connections, sending and receiving data, and handling Tor-specific configurations. This abstraction allows developers to focus on the core functionality of their applications rather than the intricacies of network routing and anonymity.

ToriRs supports both client and relay modes, allowing applications to act as Tor clients (to access the Tor network) or as Tor relays (to contribute to the network's infrastructure). This flexibility makes ToriRs suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple command-line tools to complex distributed systems.

The library is designed with performance and security in mind, leveraging Rust's strong guarantees around memory safety and concurrency to provide a robust and efficient implementation. ToriRs also includes features such as automatic circuit management and support for onion services, making it a comprehensive solution for integrating Tor functionality into Rust applications.

Overall, ToriRs aims to lower the barrier to entry for developers interested in building applications that leverage the Tor network, while also providing the flexibility and performance needed for more advanced use cases.
