+# NATS
+
+NATS is a lightweight messaging protocol perfect for your IoT/Robotics projects. It operates over TCP, offers a great number of features but an incredibly simple Pub Sub style model of communicating broadcast messages. NATS is blazingly fast as it is written in Go. 
+
+This repository contains the Gobot adaptor/drivers to connect to NATS servers. It uses the NATS Go Client available at https://github.com/nats-io/nats. The NATS project is maintained by Nats.io and sponsored by Apcera. Find more information on setting up a NATS server and its capability at http://nats.io/.
+
+The NATS messaging protocol (http://www.nats.io/documentation/internals/nats-protocol-demo/) is really easy to work with and can be practiced by setting up a NATS server using Go or Docker. For information on setting up a server using the source code, visit https://github.com/nats-io/gnatsd. For information on the Docker image up on Docker Hub, see https://hub.docker.com/_/nats/. Getting the server set up is very easy. The server itself is Golang, can be built for different architectures and installs in a small footprint. This is an excellent way to get communications going between your IoT and Robotics projects.
+
+## How to Install
+
+Install running:
+
+```
+go get -d -u github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/... && go install github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/platforms/nats
+```
+
+## How to Use
+
+Before running the example, make sure you have an NATS server running somewhere you can connect to
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+  "fmt"
+  "time"
+
+  "github.com/hybridgroup/gobot"
+  "github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/platforms/nats"
+)
+
+func main() {
+  gbot := gobot.NewGobot()
+
+  natsAdaptor := nats.NewNatsAdaptor("nats", "localhost:4222", 1234)
+
+  work := func() {
+    natsAdaptor.On("hello", func(data []byte) {
+      fmt.Println("hello")
+    })
+    natsAdaptor.On("hola", func(data []byte) {
+      fmt.Println("hola")
+    })
+    data := []byte("o")
+    gobot.Every(1*time.Second, func() {
+      natsAdaptor.Publish("hello", data)
+    })
+    gobot.Every(5*time.Second, func() {
+      natsAdaptor.Publish("hola", data)
+    })
+  }
+
+  robot := gobot.NewRobot("natsBot",
+    []gobot.Connection{natsAdaptor},
+    work,
+  )
+
+  gbot.AddRobot(robot)
+
+  gbot.Start()
+}
+```
+
+## Supported Features
+
+* Publish messages
+* Respond to incoming message events
+
+## Upcoming Features
+
+* Support for Username/password
+* Encoded messages (JSON)
+* Exposing more NATS Features (tls)
+* Simplified tests
