History

Extract the reactor to a dedicated crate. (#169 )

This allows libraries that require access to reactor related types to
depend on this crate without having to depend on the entirety of Tokio.

For example, libraries that implement their custom I/O resource will
need to access `Registration` or `PollEvented`.

tokio-reactor

Event loop that drives Tokio I/O resources.

Documentation

Overview

The reactor is the engine that drives asynchronous I/O resources (like TCP and UDP sockets). It is backed by mio and acts as a bridge between mio and futures.

The crate provides:

Reactor is the main type of this crate. It performs the event loop logic.
Handle provides a reference to a reactor instance.
Registration and PollEvented allow third parties to implement I/O resources that are driven by the reactor.

Application authors will not use this crate directly. Instead, they will use the tokio crate. Library authors should only depend on tokio-reactor if they are building a custom I/O resource.
