mdns_dart #

About #

mdns_dart is a pure Dart implementation of Multicast DNS (mDNS) for service discovery and advertising on local networks. This library is a direct port of the proven HashiCorp mDNS implementation, adapted for the Dart ecosystem. It requires no native dependencies and works across platforms, including Docker and bridge networks.

This project is not affiliated with HashiCorp. All original credit goes to HashiCorp; this port is maintained for Dart and Flutter developers.
