Mina.NET

.NET implementation of Apache MINA. I like the ideas in it, simple yet functional, but I failed to find one in .NET, finally I created one.

Mina.NET is a network application framework which helps users develop high performance and high scalability network applications easily. It provides an abstract event-driven asynchronous API over various transports such as TCP/IP via async socket.

Mina.NET is often called:

• NIO framework library,
• client server framework library, or
• a networking socket library

Features

Mina.NET is a simple yet full-featured network application framework which provides:

• Unified API for various transport types:
  • TCP/IP & UDP/IP via .NET asynchronous socket
  • Serial communication (RS232)
  • Loopback (in-application pipe) communication
  • You can implement your own!
• Filter interface as an extension point;
• Low-level and high-level API:
  • Low-level: uses IoBuffers
  • High-level: uses user-defined message objects and codecs
• Highly customizable thread model:
  • Single thread
  • One thread pool
  • More than one thread pools
• Out-of-the-box SSL · TLS
• Overload shielding & traffic throttling
• Stream-based I/O support via StreamIoHandler

Quick Start

  IoAcceptor acceptor = new AsyncSocketAcceptor();

  acceptor.FilterChain.AddLast("logger", new LoggingFilter());
  acceptor.FilterChain.AddLast("codec", new ProtocolCodecFilter(new TextLineCodecFactory(Encoding.UTF8)));

  acceptor.ExceptionCaught += (o, e) => Console.WriteLine(e.Exception);

  acceptor.SessionIdle += (o, e) => Console.WriteLine("IDLE " + e.Session.GetIdleCount(e.IdleStatus));

  acceptor.MessageReceived += (o, e) =>
  {
    String str = e.Message.ToString();

    // "Quit" ? let's get out ...
    if (str.Trim().Equals("quit", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
    {
      e.Session.Close(true);
      return;
    }

    // Send the current date back to the client
    e.Session.Write(DateTime.Now.ToString());
    Console.WriteLine("Message written...");
  };

  acceptor.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 8080));
