<title>GIO Networking</title>

  <p>GIO Networking is built on top of the stream APIs
  <link xref="tech-gio">used for files</link>. It provides high-level APIs to
  communicate over TCP/IP and UNIX domain sockets. You can use the GIO
  networking APIs to connect to a server, listen for events, and read
  resources. The asynchronous API means your application doesn't block waiting
  for a response from the network.</p>
