# DEPRECATED: go-mplex

mplex is deprecated. When on TCP, we recommend using [Yamux](https://github.com/libp2p/go-yamux/) instead.
If TCP is not a requirement, consider using QUIC instead.

A super simple [stream muxing](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/stream-multiplexing/) library implementing [mplex](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/mplex).

Users should prefer [yamux](https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/tree/master/p2p/muxer/yamux) over mplex. We would like to deprecate mplex in the future.

## Usage

```go
mplex := multiplex.NewMultiplex(mysocket)

s, _ := mplex.NewStream()
s.Write([]byte("Hello World!"))
s.Close()

os, _ := mplex.Accept()
// echo back everything received
io.Copy(os, os)
```
