Overview
What is NetSocket?
NetSocket is an Objective-C asynchronous TCP socket class that can simplify and even speed up networking in your application.
In depth
A closer look at NetSocket
NetSocket buffers both reads and writes behind the scenes, this allows you to read the data at the most convenient time and not worry if a call to send will block or not.
Through a series of callbacks, a delegate is notified of socket events ( e.g. connected, disconnected, data available ). To make all of this possible, NetSocket uses new MacOS X networking APIs, mainly CFSocket ( part of the CoreFoundation CFNetwork API ).
