04 / GOOD TO KNOW

A few answers
before you build.

What is HaishinKit?

HaishinKit is a family of open-source audio and video streaming libraries. HaishinKit.swift targets Apple platforms, HaishinKit.kt targets Android, and HaishinKit.dart provides a Flutter interface.

Which streaming protocols are supported?

RTMP is available across the projects. HaishinKit.swift also supports SRT and includes alpha WHIP/WHEP support. Protocol availability and maturity differ by SDK and version.

Can I use HaishinKit in a commercial app?

The SDKs use the BSD 3-Clause license, which permits commercial use subject to its terms. Review the license and third-party dependency licenses in your chosen repository.

Where are the docs for an older version?

Visit documentation versions. Replace latest with a published version in /swift/$version/documentation/, /kt/$version/ or /dart/$version/.
