Description

This library provides an API to the MaidSafe network. This allows data storage and manipulation (structured and unstructured), reliable and secure communications and the ultimate privacy protection for people using the network and associated applications. This library provides the API that allows data sharing, both public and private.

Public shares allow the creation and running of web sites, blogs, microblogs, social networks which in turn allow people to share ideas, research, suggestions and hope!

This library allows many applications to be built that can provide the features listed and much more, this is a prime reason to open up the complete suite of MaidSafe libraries and applications to every developer in the world.
