: The platform includes a command-line interface (CLI) and an on-demand daemon to streamline the development process.
: Leveraging JavaScript and standard modules, it allows developers to use familiar programming models for P2P software.
: Direct peer connectivity is achieved using a hole-punching algorithm that can bypass firewalls and NAT restrictions without needing a central server.
: The runtime is built on Bare , a modular and asynchronous JavaScript runtime for desktop and mobile, similar to Node.js but optimized for P2P.
Pear is a peer-to-peer (P2P) development and deployment platform that enables the creation of decentralized, high-scale applications. Rather than relying on cloud infrastructure, data in Pear applications resides locally on user devices, and peers connect directly through a key on a global distributed hash table. Pear's infrastructure is built on several key components:
: Developers can deploy apps without managing cloud servers or third-party hosting.
: A native P2P-capable platform that includes a runtime binary, an API, and an application shell to provide the framework for developing production P2P applications.
