MUSCLE (Multi User Server Client Linkage Environment) is a cross-platform network messaging library written in C++. It serializes key-value Message objects and exchanges them over TCP, and provides a model in which multiple clients share the server's node tree and subscribe to changes. Through the DataIO layer, an asynchronous I/O abstraction, it handles not only sockets but also other channels such as standard I/O in the same way.
