Happy Friday, community!

We are excited to announce that the candid repo has been open sourced as of today on our DFINITY organization GitHub! :tada:

Candid is an interface description language (IDL) for interacting with canisters (also known as services or actors) running on the Internet Computer.

This repository hosts the following crates:

  • candid , a serialization/deserialization library for Candid. You can seamlessly convert between Rust values and Candid in both binary and text format.
  • candid_derive , an internal crate to convert Rust data types to Candid types. This crate should be considered as an implementation detail, and not be used directly, only via the candid crate.

Get started here: https://github.com/dfinity/candid

Cheers!
