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));
