Bluefire

Lightweight TCP framework based on node.js and written in CoffeeScript

Features

• Simple to use - Both, client and server can be written in the Bluefire, while keeping configurations for packets and routes same on both sides.

• Flexible - Whether you need a simple application(or prototype), or you want framework to make application more structured and less error-prone, bluefire can handle that. See examples) for more information.

• Real world compatible - Whether you want to send or receive data, you will never have to handle bytes. Construct real object, bluefire will handle everything else.

• Object oriented - While focusing on object orientation, everything that can be object in bluefire, object is. This gives users flexibility and great ability to detect errors. You can also simply inject any service you want. Core Services page will provide you with more information.
