- 💡 What is Datagram
- 🔌 The types of data can you send
- 🔒 Everything encrypted from A to Z
- 😆 Pricing

Whether you want to send a simple text file from computer to computer or create a peer-to-peer key/value database for whatever you are building, Datagram can help you.
- any type of file
- text and numbers
- lists
- spreadsheets
- streaming video and audio
- streaming binary
You can send as much data as you want in one datagram.
Everything you send is automatically encrypted. Everything you receive is automatically verified. Everything from your data to internet connections Datagram makes is secured with the cryptographic best practices.
There is no pricing. Everything is free. This is peer-to-peer which means that your data goes directly to the receiver. If there's nobody in the middle, why would there be fees?
Let's create a new datagram, put a file in and share it.
``bash
// Generate Datagram user file
$ npx datagram user foo
// Create new datagram
$ npx datagram create -u foo my_datagram
// Add a file
$ npx datagram add -u foo -d my_datagram cat.jpg
// Check that file is there
$ npx datagram list -u foo -d my_datagram
// Share your datagram
$ npx datagram share -u foo -d my_datagram
-> you get a sharelink
`
Your datagram is now available only to anyone who knows the sharelink.
Please note that multi-user support is underway but right now Datagram doesn't support multiple users. When you want to access your datagram on another device, you need to copy your user file to the other device.
`bash
// List the contents of remote datagram
$ npx datagram list -u foo -l [sharelink]
// Export a file from remote datagram
$ npx datagram export cat.jpg exported-cat.jpg -u foo -l [sharelink]

Performance is good enough to power any modern consumer javascript application.
If you need to store, analyze and serve "big data", Datagram might not be your choice.
