Other network application frameworks

The projects referred in this section 'Other network application frameworks' are not based on MINA but are their own network application frameworks. These links are provided for users who want to compare MINA to other network application frameworks.

Grizzly

Grizzly framework has been designed to help developers to take advantage of the Java™ NIO API. Originally developed under the GlassFish umbrella, the framework is now available as a standalone project. Grizzly goals is to help developers to build scalable and robust servers using NIO.

NIO Framework

The NIO Framework is a library on top of NIO that hides most of the complexity of plain NIO. With the NIO Framework you can implement high-performance Java network applications without having to deal with all the nasty details of NIO. The issues above are resolved while the performance is preserved.

QuickServer

QuickServer is an open source Java library/framework for quick creation of robust multi-client TCP server applications. QuickServer provides an abstraction over the ServerSocket, Socket and other network and input output classes and it eases the creation of powerful network servers.

xSocket

xSocket is a easy to use NIO-based library to build high performance, highly scalable network applications. It supports writing client-side applications as well as server-side applications in an intuitive way. Issues like low level NIO selector programming, connection pool management, connection timeout detection or fragmented buffer reads are encapsulated by xSocket.
