LightBlueFox.Connect is a base .NET Library which provides a unified framework for inter-app communication. Specific connection implementations are then provided in sub-libraries, such as LightBlueFox.Connect.Net (also contained in this repo).

Features

• Provide a unified framework for apps where the exact nature of the connection is not of concern, greatly reducing reimplementation of e.g. basic networking code
• Offer high performance and reliability
• Allow for a great degree of extendibility, such as layering on encryption, p2p networking, protocols
• Extension libraries for various different types of connections, such as:
  • Networking (see LightBlueFox.Connect.Net)
  • WebSockets (idea)
  • I2C, Serial, etc. (idea)
  • Inter-Process
  • RF - connections
  • Exotic connections such as 3rd-party-platform communication (Discord, ...)

Types

• Connection:

  The abstract base class that describes the minimum capabilities all connection implementations should offer, such as Reading and Writing. Also defines events and implements a few basic features such as read message queueing.

• Util classes:

  A small collection of other Types that might be used in any extending libraries, such as MessageQueue, MessageStoreHandle and MessageArgs.
