DESCRIPTION:

The LWES Light-Weight Event System is a framework for allowing the exchange of information from many machines to many machines in a controlled, platform neutral, language neutral way. The exchange of information is done in a connectless fashion using multicast or unicast UDP, and using self describing data so that any platform or language can translate it to it’s local dialect.

Instead of blindly using SWIG-generated bindings and exposing users to the underlying C APIs, we’ve wrapped the underlying C library bindings in an easy-to-use Ruby library. Currently we only support emitting events but may support listening and journaling capabilities as time allows.

SYNOPSIS

See LWES.html

NON-ESF USERS:

For prototyping and development, it may be easier to not use an ESF file. In those cases, you may skip the TypeDB steps entirely and just use an emitter to send Hash objects.
