DotNetOpenServer SDK

Overview

DotNetOpenServer SDK is an open source lightweight fully extendable TCP socket client/server application framework enabling developers to create highly efficient, fast, secure and robust cloud based smart mobile device and desktop applications. Why? Unlike most application server frameworks, which are implemented over slow inefficient stateless protocols such as HTTP, REST and SOAP that use ASCII data formats such as JSON and XML, DotNetOpenServer has been built from the ground up with highly efficient stateful binary protocols.
