Zap is a blazingly fast networking solution for Roblox.
- Zap packs data into buffers with no overhead. The same data can be sent using a fraction of the bandwidth.
- Zap doesn't compromise on performance. Zap's packing and unpacking is typically faster than Roblox's generic encoding.
- For both the IDL and API, Zap is a joy to use. It's easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to debug. It's the best DX you'll find.
- Zap is fully secure. Buffers make reverse engineering your game's networking much harder and Zap validates all data received.
Zap is currently undergoing a rewrite, which can be found at the rewrite branch.
Otherwise versions 0.6.x are being maintained by @sasial-dev, on the 0.6.x branch.
Documentation can be found here. Please note these docs are for 0.6.x.
Contributions are welcome! Please open an issue or discuss in the Roblox Open Source Software Community Discord before you start working on a feature or bug fix so we can discuss it.
