Package Network - Palamecia/mint GitHub Wiki

Description

The Network package provides classes and functions to interacte with a network.

This package provides 3 main classes:

  • The Network.EndPoint interface allow to describe a network endpoint by providing informations used to access a device using a set of specific protocols of the layers 1 to 4 of the OSI model.
  • The Network.AsynchronousChannel class handle asynchronous exchanges with a device. This device is described by an instance of Network.EndPoint or a derived class. The Network.SynchronousChannel can also be used to perform exchanges synchronously.
  • The Network.Scheduler class synchronize exchanges. It manages a set of channels described by an instance of Network.AsynchronousChannel or a derived class and can work synchronously or asynchronously using a thread.

This package also provides a set of protocol specific client and server classes that implement the layers 5 to 7 of the OSI model. That allow basic communication with a device using a specific protocol.

Example:

load network.scheduler
load network.endpoints.tcpip
load network.protocol.http.client

Network.Scheduler.instance().startSynchronizationLoop()

if client = Network.Http.Client(Network.TcpIp(server_host, server_port)) {
    client.onMessage = def (self, channel) {
        send_to_browser(self.read())
    }

    client.watch()
    client.connect()

    // ...

    client.close()
    client.unwatch()
}

Network.Scheduler.instance().stopSynchronizationLoop()
