Pony Express Description
Free and open source communication library for modules, applications and computers Pony Express is a cross-platform library providing inter-module, inter-application, and inter-computer communication. Using Pony Express you can develop modular applications that do not depend on sharing the same process space. Pony Express uses a Post Office metaphore where your modules register POBoxes that can be used to send messages to eachother. Once two applications are connected your application no longer needs to concern itself with whether or not a module is within the same process space, on the same computer or across the network. You no longer have to maintain socket connections, packetize your data, and manage other low level details associated with network programming. You can seemelessly connect different architectures using different byte ordering network libraries. Pony Express works on the follows OSs: Mac OS X, IRIX and Linux. Here are some key features of "Pony Express": Point to Point communication: · Same Computer, Same application, intermodule communication: done via pointer passing (fastest) · Intercomputer or between multiple applications on one computer: done via sockets Point to Group communication: · Done via a group "mailing list" from the Post Office. Anyone who subscribes to the group gets its mail. Requirements: · Qt
