Javascript Protocol Framework

A protocol is a contract between different entities on how they go about their communication. This library is a framework, built in javascript, to facilitate building such contract.

Installation

npm install javascript-protocol-framework

Example

// Server-side protocol
protocol.addReceiver('ping', function(message) {
  message.reply('pong');
});

// Client-side session
session.send({type: 'ping'}, function(message) {
  message.data === 'pong'
})

Goals

• Allow simultaneous multi-step communication
• Memory-efficient enough for server-side usage
• Must work cross platform (NodeJS, browser)
• Make business logic independend from the used transportation layer

Documentation

• Transportation Layer

See the 'full' implementation of the json-tcp module for an example.
