This package simplifies working with the [sway](https://swaywm.org/) IPC from Go.
It was highly influenced by the [i3 package](https://github.com/i3/go-i3).
While the i3 and sway IPCs share much in common, they are not identical. This package provides the complete sway api.
## Differences from the i3 package
* Retries are not handled. Use tools like systemd to automatically restart apps that use this library.
* A much simpler interface for subscriptions and handling events.
* No global state.
* Use of Context throughout.
## Assumptions
* The `$SWAYSOCK` variable must be set properly in the environment
* sway is running on a machine with the same byteorder as the client
