Experimental - The proton::io interfaces are new and remain subject to change.
The proton::io namespace contains a service provider interface (SPI) that allows you to implement the Proton API over alternative IO or threading libraries.
The proton::io::connection_driver class converts an AMQP-encoded byte stream, read from any IO source, into proton::messaging_handler calls. It generates an AMQP-encoded byte stream as output that can be written to any IO destination.
The connection driver is deliberately very simple and low level. It performs no IO of its own, no thread-related locking, and is written in simple C++98-compatible code.
The connection dirver can be used standalone as an AMQP translator, or you can implement the following two interfaces to provide a complete implementation of the Proton API that can run any Proton application:
proton::container lets the user initiate or listen for connections.proton::event_loop lets the user serialize work with respect to a connection.@see @ref mt/epoll_container.cpp for an example.
