I am trying to develop a peer to peer project and I need to communicate between those peers by sending huge json data. I went through various libraries but couldn't find the perfect one for my use case. Could you please suggest something?
We are working in a team of 3 members and the mutual language is JavaScript. We are actually thinking about building a peer to peer search engine where the peers would request other peers to give results for a specific search query. And yes we would be developing a web application to display results as well as client applications to communicate with other available peers.

Do you know IPFS?  https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System

According to some people IPSF will become the standard formerly HTTP.

That's something interesting to work on. Will look into it in details. Until then I am open to more suggestions.

Is it to use blockchain technology or something else?

WebRTC? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC 

In block data technology you also have SAN servers which is interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_access_server

JXTA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JXTA

No it's not related to blockchain or anything as such. I was thinking about using WebRTC though but I was confused as to what would be the best.

I did that for my FYP https://github.com/davidmather/fourthYearProjectImplementation

It is supposed to be a multilingual videocalling service e.g. I talk to you in English and you hear French, German etc. and you should be able to specify commands to the other end of the call by talking like show me the kitchen for a call linked to your house. I have code in the frontend javascript for a download which sends a file to the person on the other end of the call via WebRTC. That should be what you are looking for?

The top protocol might be useful to you. It's p2p and encrypted. It's intended as a instant messaging protocol but there's nothing stopping you from building an application on top of it instead.

Also, you might find it useful to play around with tox using the ratox client.

Yes I am kinda looking for the same the same thing just without the videocalling feature. I was looking for something data specific though.
