Matrix SDK (beta version)

The Matrix SDK in Elm allows users to communicate with other instances using the Matrix protocol.

The Elm SDK serves as a more consistent alternative to the matrix-js-sdk, which is a JavaScript implementation of the Matrix protocol with several downsides. In contrast, the Elm SDK supports:

• ✅ Matrix spec version adjustment based on which spec version the homeserver supports. The matrix-js-sdk spec uses endpoints from legacy versions and exclusively supports the latest 4 spec versions, while this SDK listens to the homeserver's supported spec versions and talks to the server accordingly. See docs/supported.md to discover which interactions are supported for which spec versions.

• ✅ One way to do things instead of having multiple functions that are considered deprecated.

How to install

Keep in mind that the beta versions are intended to develop rapidly. You should not expect the versions to remain reliable for years! If you need a stable version, please wait around for a full version.
