Glide–Android Media Management »

Glide is a fast and efficient open source media management framework for Android that wraps media decoding, memory and disk caching, and resource pooling into a simple and easy to use interface. For this to work for any company, they[re going to need to look at the SEO Factors in 2018.

Glide supports fetching, decoding, and displaying video stills, images, and animated GIFs. Glide includes a flexible api that allows developers to plug in to almost any network stack. By default Glide uses a custom HttpUrlConnection based stack, but also includes utility libraries plug in to Google’s Volley project or Square’s OkHttp library instead.

Glide’s primary focus is on making scrolling any kind of a list of images as smooth and fast as possible, but Glide is also effective for almost any case where you need to fetch, resize, and display a remote image.

WebCommander–PowerShell Web Services »

WebCommander wraps Powershell scripts into web services and presents them as a simple one-click automation solution. This can be likened to an "App Store" for PowerShell/PowerCLI !

Wrapping a program as a web service means using a web portal to gather parameters and then passing them to the wrapped program. By doing so, details on how the program is developed and what underlying system it depends on become transparent to others. People could make easy use of the program via browser manually or through any programming language that supports calling web services.

End users usually run many repeatable routines which could be automated by PowerCLI. WebCommander makes it even easier by providing a more user friendly UI and result report. Users have no need to setup their own environment to use PowerCLI, keep upgrading it, download and learn scripts written by others.

image

Cayley is an open-source graph inspired by the graph database behind Freebase and Google’s Knowledge Graph.

Its goal is to be a part of the developer’s toolbox where Linked Data and graph-shaped data (semantic webs, social networks, etc) in general are concerned.

  • Written in Go
  • Easy to get running (3 or 4 commands, below)
  • RESTful API
    • or a REPL if you prefer
  • Built-in query editor and visualizer
  • Multiple query languages:
    • JavaScript, with a Gremlin-inspired* graph object.
    • (simplified) MQL, for Freebase fans
  • Plays well with multiple backend stores:
  • Modular design; easy to extend with new languages and backends
  • Good test coverage
  • Speed, where possible.

Rough performance testing shows that, on Search Engine Agency and an average disk, 134m triples in LevelDB is no problem and a multi-hop intersection query — films starring X and Y — takes ~150ms.

Android HTTP Library »

ion

 

Android Async HTTP

An asynchronous callback-based Http client for Android built on top of Apache’s HttpClient libraries. All requests are made outside of your app’s main UI thread, but any callback logic will be executed on the same thread as the callback was created using Android’s Handler message passing.

  • Make asynchronous HTTP requests, handle responses in anonymous callbacks
  • HTTP requests happen outside the UI thread
  • Requests use a threadpool to cap concurrent resource usage
  • GET/POST params builder (RequestParams)
  • Multipart file uploads with no additional third party libraries
  • Tiny size overhead to your application, only 25kb for everything
  • Automatic smart request retries optimized for spotty mobile connections
  • Automatic gzip response decoding support for super-fast requests
  • Binary file (images etc) downloading with BinaryHttpResponseHandler
  • Built-in response parsing into JSON with JsonHttpResponseHandler
  • Persistent cookie store, saves cookies into your app’s SharedPreferences

Open Source Android WebSocket Library »

 

AndroidAsync

AndroidAsync is a low level network protocol library. If you are looking for an easy to use, higher level, Android aware, http request library, check out Ion (it is built on top of AndroidAsync). The typical Android app developer would probably be more interested in Ion.

But if you’re looking for a raw Socket, HTTP client/server, WebSocket, and Socket.IO library for Android, AndroidAsync is it.

Features
  • Based on NIO. One thread, driven by callbacks. Highly efficient.
  • All operations return a Future that can be cancelled
  • Socket client + socket server
  • HTTP client + server
  • WebSocket client + server
  • Socket.IO client

 

AutobahnAndroid

AutobahnAndroid implements The WebSocket Protocol and The WebSocket Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP):

  • library for WebSocket and WAMP clients
  • implements WebSocket RFC6455, Draft Hybi-10+ and WAMP v1
  • works on Android 2.2+
  • very good standards conformance
  • high-performance asynchronous design
  • easy to use API
  • seamless integration in Android UI apps
  • no (really none) network activity on UI thread
  • Open-source (Apache 2 license)

You can use AutobahnAndroid to create native Android apps talking to WebSocket servers or any WAMP compatible server.

Using WAMP you can build applications around asynchronous RPC and PubSub messaging patterns.

 

android-websockets

android-websockets is a very simple bare-minimum WebSocket client for Android.

Java NIO Asynchronous Sockets »

Naga aims to be a very small NIO library that provides a handful of java classes to wrap the usual Socket and ServerSocket with asynchronous NIO counterparts (similar to NIO2 planned for Java 1.7).

All of this is driven from a single thread, making it useful for both client (e.g. allowing I/O to be done in the AWT-thread without any need for threads) and server programming (1 thread for all connections instead of 2 threads/connection).

Internally Naga is a straightforward NIO implementation without any threads or event-queues thrown in, it is "just the NIO-stuff", to let you build things on top of it.

Naga contains the code needed to get NIO up and running without having to code partially read buffers and setting various selection key flags.

Here is an example opening a server socket:

NIOService service = new NIOService;
NIOServerSocket serverSocket = service.openServerSocket(1234);
serverSocket.setConnectionAcceptor(myAcceptor);
serverSocket.listen(myObserver);

This is how working with a regular socket looks like:

NIOService service = new NIOService;
NIOSocket serverSocket = service.openSocket("www.google.com", 1234);
socket.listen(myObserver);
// Asynchronous write by default:
socket.write("Some message".getBytes());

Java–Realtime Client Server Framework »

The Atmosphere Framework contains client and server side components for building Asynchronous Web Application. The majority of popular frameworks are either supporting Atmosphere or supported natively by the framework. The Atmosphere Framework supports all majors Browsers and Servers

Atmosphere transparently supports WebSockets, Server Side Events (SSE), Long-Polling, HTTP Streaming (Forever frame) and JSONP.

The Atmosphere Framework Stack works on all Servlet based server including Tomcat, JBoss Jetty, Resin, GlassFish, Undertow, WebSphere, WebLogic etc. Not running a Servlet Container? Netty Play! Framework orVert.x

AJAX Push Engine »

APE is a full-featured OpenSource solution designed for Ajax Push. It includes a comet server and a Javascript Framework. APE allows to implement any kind of real-time data streaming to a web browser, without having to install anything on the client-side.

The Ajax Push Engine Project is divided into two distinct parts communicating via a very efficient protocol. The most central part is our epoll-driven HTTP streaming server, the APE Server. Through the APE Protocol, the APE JavaScript Framework sends and receives the actions on the client side.

APE Server is an Comet server implementing the POST and GET methods of the HTTP protocol. It does not replace a regular Web Server (such as Apache, Lighttpd or Nginx), however, the APE Server is only used for AJAX Push.

The APE JavaScript Framework receives information sent by the server (RAWs), handles the data, and sends back the users commands (CMDs). With a very small footprint (~10KB), the APE Framework loads really fast on your web browser, thus it’s fully adapted for slow connections such as EDGE or 3G.
