chore: move libp2p crate to a dedicated directory
Currently, our top-level `Cargo.toml` manifest represents a crate AND a workspace. This causes surprising behaviour (e.g. #2949) where we need to explicitly pass `--workpace` to every command to run it on the entire workspace and not just the meta crate.

My moving the meta crate into its own directory, the root manifest file is a virtual manifest only and thus, every `cargo` command will automatically default to running on the entire workspace.

On top of this, I personally find it easier to understand if workspace and crate manifests are not mixed.

Pull-Request: #3536.

Examples

A set of examples showcasing how to use rust-libp2p.

Getting started

Individual libp2p features

  • Chat A basic chat application demonstrating libp2p and the mDNS and Gossipsub protocols.

  • Distributed key-value store A basic key value store demonstrating libp2p and the mDNS and Kademlia protocol.

  • File sharing application 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.

  • IPFS Kademlia Demonstrates how to perform Kademlia queries on the IPFS network.

  • IPFS Private Implementation using the gossipsub, ping and identify protocols to implement the ipfs private swarms feature.

  • Ping Small ping clone, sending a ping to a peer, expecting a pong as a response. See tutorial for a step-by-step guide building the example.

  • Rendezvous Rendezvous Protocol. See specs.
