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.
