# Examples
A set of examples showcasing how to use rust-libp2p.
## Getting started
- [Ping](ping.rs)
Small `ping` clone, sending a ping to a peer, expecting a pong as a response. See
[tutorial](../src/tutorials/ping.rs) for a step-by-step guide building the example.
## Individual libp2p features
- [Chat](./chat.rs)
A basic chat application demonstrating libp2p and the mDNS and floodsub protocols.
- [Gossipsub chat](./gossipsub-chat.rs)
Same as the chat example but using the Gossipsub protocol.
- [Tokio based chat](./chat-tokio.rs)
Same as the chat example but using tokio for all asynchronous tasks and I/O.
- [Distributed key-value store](./distributed-key-value-store.rs)
A basic key value store demonstrating libp2p and the mDNS and Kademlia protocol.
- [Identify](../protocols/identify/examples/identify.rs)
Demonstrates how to use identify protocol to query peer information.
- [IPFS Kademlia](ipfs-kad.rs)
Demonstrates how to perform Kademlia queries on the IPFS network.
- [IPFS Private](ipfs-private.rs)
Implementation using the gossipsub, ping and identify protocols to implement the ipfs private
swarms feature.
- [Passive Discovery via MDNS](mdns-passive-discovery.rs)
Discover peers on the same network via the MDNS protocol.
- [Hole punching tutorial](https://docs.rs/libp2p/latest/libp2p/tutorials/hole_punching/index.html)
Tutorial on how to overcome firewalls and NATs with libp2ps hole punching mechanism.
## Integration into a larger application
- [File sharing application](./file-sharing.rs)
Basic file sharing application with peers either providing or locating and getting files by name.
While obviously showcasing how to build a basic file sharing application with the Kademlia and
Request-Response protocol, the actual goal of this example is **to show how to integrate
rust-libp2p into a larger application**.
