Feature Request: include LibSodium.Net in Bindings for other languages

[jesuslpm]

Hi,

I'm the author of LibSodium.Net, a fully managed .NET binding for libsodium designed with modern C# features, idiomatic API design, and complete coverage of the sodium API (with a few remaining features planned soon), while staying faithful to its design and security model.

LibSodium.Net includes:

• Cross-platform tests on Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Complete XML documentation:
• A comprehensive guide
• Published NuGet package
• Actively maintained GitHub repository

I would love to see LibSodium.Net listed on the official bindings page alongside other language integrations.

Thanks for considering it! Let me know if there’s anything I should adjust or contribute to make this happen.

A small remark: libsodium-net is a libsodium binding for .NET that's been around since 2013. Although it is no longer maintained, the difference between libsodium-net and LibSodium.Net is so small that it might cause some confusion (e.g., when searching on Google or StackOverflow). I'd suggest choosing a different name if possible.

I agree this could cause confusion, although it looks like Jesús has bought the libsodium.net domain.

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, I bought libsodium.net and also reserved the LibSodium.Net prefix on NuGet

I agree there’s a small risk of confusion with libsodium-net (2013), but that project has been archived and hasn’t seen activity since 2018. After trying alternatives (e.g. natrium, sodio) I chose LibSodium.Net because:

• it clearly signals “.NET binding for libsodium”
• the matching domain was available
• search engines already rank libsodium.net first for “LibSodium.Net”

I’ll add a short note in the README to avoid confusion and reference the legacy package.
Open to further suggestions if you think a different approach would help.

@jesuslpm you can open a PR in the libsodium-doc repo for this.

Thank you @samuel-lucas6, I will do it
