Description: # FedJAX: Federated learning with JAX
        
        **NOTE**: FedJAX is still in the early stages and the API will likely continue
        to change.
        
        ## What is FedJAX?
        
        FedJAX is a library for developing custom
        [Federated Learning (FL)](https://ai.googleblog.com/2017/04/federated-learning-collaborative.html)
        algorithms in [JAX]. FedJAX prioritizes ease-of-use and is intended to be useful
        for anyone with knowledge of NumPy.
        
        FedJAX is built around the common core components needed in the FL setting:
        
        *   **Federated datasets**: Clients and a dataset for each client
        *   **Models**: CNN, ResNet, etc.
        *   **Optimizers**: SGD, Momentum, etc.
        *   **Federated algorithms**: Client updates and server aggregation
        
        For **Models** and **Optimizers**, FedJAX provides lightweight wrappers and
        containers that can work with a variety of existing implementations (e.g. a
        model wrapper that can support both [Haiku] and [Stax]). Similarly, for
        **Federated datasets**, [TFF] provides a well established API for working with
        federated datasets, and FedJAX just provides utilties for converting to NumPy
        input acceptable to JAX.
        
        However, what FL researchers will find most useful is the collection and
        customizability of **Federated algorithms** provided out of box by FedJAX.
        
        ## Quickstart
        
        Take a look at [the simple Federated Averaging implementation](examples/simple_fed_avg.py)
        to get a sense of how to write FL algorithms with FedJAX.
        For running a FL simulation (setting up the federated dataset, model, etc.), see
        [the full EMNIST example](examples/emnist_simple_fed_avg.py).
