PJON network protocol stack specification

In plain words

PJON is a network protocol stack specification designed for connecting multiple devices in distributed systems. It enables communication across various physical media and architectures, making it suitable for developers building IoT applications, embedded systems, and networked devices. The protocol focuses on simplicity and flexibility, allowing users to implement custom communication layers while maintaining standardized messaging conventions. It has been available since 2016 and is open source on GitHub.
