  1. Hiredis is a minimalistic C client library for the Redis database.
  2. It is minimalistic because it just adds minimal support for the
  3. protocol, but at the same time it uses a high level printf-alike API
  4. in order to make it much higher level than otherwise suggested by its
  5. minimal code base and the lack of explicit bindings for every Redis
  6. command.
  7. Apart from supporting sending commands and receiving replies, it comes
  8. with a reply parser that is decoupled from the I/O layer. It is a stream
  9. parser designed for easy reusability, which can for instance be used in
  10. higher level language bindings for efficient reply parsing.
  11. Hiredis only supports the binary-safe Redis protocol, so you can use it
  12. with any Redis version >= 1.2.0.
  13. The library comes with multiple APIs. There is the synchronous API, the
  14. asynchronous API and the reply parsing API.
