Features:

- Consistent high-level API, inspired by libsodium. Instead of low-level primitives, it exposes simple functions to solve common problems that cryptography can solve.

|
|
- Small and easy to audit. Implemented as one tiny file for every set of operation, and adding a single `.c` file to your project is all it takes to use libhydrogen in your project.
|
|
|
- The whole code is released under a single, very liberal license (ISC).
|
|
|
- Zero dynamic memory allocations and low stack requirements (median: 32 bytes, max: 128 bytes). This makes it usable in constrained environments such as microcontrollers.
