|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Mongoose is ideal for embedded environments. It has been designed
|
||
for connecting devices and bringing them online. Mongoose
|
||
is on the market since 2004, used by vast number of open source and
|
||
commercial products - it even runs on space stations!
|
||
|
||
Mongoose provides easy to use event-driven interface that allows to implement
|
||
network protocols or scalable network applications with little effort.
|
||
Mongoose helps developers to manage the complexity of network programming
|
||
and let them concentrate on the logic, saving time and money.
