EventMachine implements a fast, single-threaded engine for arbitrary network
|
||
|
|
communications. It's extremely easy to use in Ruby. EventMachine wraps all
|
||
|
|
interactions with IP sockets, allowing programs to concentrate on the
|
||
|
|
implementation of network protocols. It can be used to create both network
|
||
|
|
servers and clients. To create a server or client, a Ruby program only needs
|
||
|
|
to specify the IP address and port, and provide a Module that implements the
|
||
|
|
communications protocol. Implementations of several standard network protocols
|
||
|
|
are provided with the package, primarily to serve as examples. The real goal
|
||
|
|
of EventMachine is to enable programs to easily interface with other programs
|
||
|
|
using TCP/IP, especially if custom protocols are required.
