#PKJSONSocket
PKJSONSocket aims to simplify network communications. It's a delightful wrapper around CocoaAsyncSocket, abstracting away complex data flow into an easy to use API. Instead of dealing with the bits and bytes yourself, PKJSONSocket offers you UTF-8 encoded JSON strings.
Installation (CocoaPods)
pod 'PKJSONSocket'
Usage
Simply #import "PKJSONSocket.h" and...
-
Connect to a remote host:
PKJSONSocket *socket = [PKJSONSocket socketWithDelegate:self]; [socket connectToHost:@"127.0.0.1" onPort:3333 error:nil];
-
Listen for incoming connections:
[socket listenOnPort:3333 error:nil];
-
Watch for incoming data by conforming to the
<PKJSONSocketDelegate>protocol:- (void)socket:(PKJSONSocket *)socket didReceiveMessage:(PKJSONSocketMessage *)msg { NSLog(@"Received: %@", [msg dictionaryRepresentation]); }
-
Send messages down the wire:
NSDictionary *dict = @{ @"message" : @"The answer is 42." }; PKJSONSocketMessage *msg = [PKJSONSocketMessage messageWithDictionary:dict]; [socket send:msg];
Note: Do NOT use the same socket object to connect to remote hosts and listen for incoming connections. It will not work.
