What is Lacewing?
A networking protocol
Lacewing is a networking protocol, with compatible implementations in Windows C++, Python and Clickteam's Multimedia Fusion 2. It aims to provide an easy to implement, binary based protocol, with a familiar IRC-like structure.
A Lacewing protocol implementation is also being developed for Java and ActionScript 3.0.
A networking library
Lacewing is also a networking library for Windows. It is distributed as a DLL and C++ header/lib file, providing powerful and highly efficient socket classes, along with an embeddable webserver and an implementation of the Lacewing networking protocol. It also has a class to host a Flash Player socket policy XML file, and this functionality is included in the standalone Lacewing server.
The Lacewing networking library was used to develop AquadaSoft's Webdeling and the Lacewing extension for Clickteam's Multimedia Fusion 2.
