== Network communication solutions==
==Network communication solutions==
Many Eiffel applications take advantage of networking. The Eiffel solutions to support networking include the EiffelNet, ZeroMQ and http_client libraries.
===Choosing the right libraries===
The libraries serve different, and complementary, purposes:
*EiffelNet enables Eiffel systems to use many Internet concepts and protocols: sockets, network address, IPV4, IPV6 and others.
*ZeroMQ supports direct messaging.
*http_client is a web client used to send HTTP requests (GET, POST, ...) and process the associated responses.
===Using the libraries===
Here is how to take advantage of one or more of the above libraries in your Eiffel system:
There are a few network related library either coming with EiffelStudio delivery, or available as iron package:
* '''EiffelNet''':
: manipulation of sockets, network addresses, IPv4, IPv6. But also basic limited implementation for a few protocols. <code lang="shell">$ISE_LIBRARY/library/net/net.ecf</code>
