## What is Kubo?

Kubo (go-ipfs) the earliest and most widely used implementation of IPFS.
Kubo was the first is the most widely used IPFS implementation today. Implementing the *Interplanetary Filesystem* - the Web3 standard and contender to replace https. Thus powered by IPLD's data models and the libp2p for network communication. Kubo is written in Go.

Featureset
- Runs an IPFS-Node as a network service
- [Command Line Interface](https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/cli/) to IPFS-Nodes
- Local [Web2-to-Web3 HTTP Gateway functionality](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/tree/main/http-gateways#readme)
- HTTP RPC API (`/api/v0`) to access and control the daemon
- IPFS's internal Webgui can be used to manage the Kubo nodes

It includes:
- an IPFS daemon server
- extensive [command line tooling](https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/cli/)
- an [HTTP Gateway](https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/http/gateway/) (`/ipfs/`, `/ipns/`) for serving content to HTTP browsers
- an [HTTP RPC API](https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/) (`/api/v0`) for controlling the daemon node
### Other implementations
