CSockets

CSockets is a FAST socket interface for Wolfram Language, written in C

• Linux - Stable (UV based)
• MacOS - Stable (UV based)
• Windows - Stable (native)

It is more than 15 times faster than the native implementation shipped with the Wolfram Kernel. This is achieved with zero overhead using native Windows/Unix low-level sockets.

Why is it better than other C implementations of tiny TCP servers?

• It handles error 35, which most implementations treat as a regular error and break the data transfer. In practice, this is a common occurrence (depending on the machine and network) when a payload exceeds the buffer capacity of a network card / pipe. Our server saves failed leftover bytes for later and retries after some time.

Building (NO NEED)

In the LibraryResurces we placed all prebuild binaries. Skip this section if you want just to run this package

If there are some issues with a shipped binaries, one can try to compile it.

wolframscript -f Scritps/BuildLibrary.wls
