Product Description:

An Objective-C asynchronous TCP socket class that can simplify and even speed up networking in your application. NetSocket buffers both reads and writes behind the scenes, this allows you to read the data at the most convenient time and not worry if a call to send will block or not. Through a series of callbacks, a delegate is notified of socket events ( e.g. connected, disconnected, data available ). To make all of this possible, NetSocket uses new MacOS X networking APIs, mainly CFSocket ( part of the CoreFoundation CFNetwork API ).

What's new in this version:

  • Complete rewrite. (If all goes well with this version, I will release 1.0 final, so feedback is appreciated)
  • Delete method names have been changed
  • New specific run loop scheduling
  • New convenience methods
  • New examples (GhettoChat and GET)
  • Method to listen on random available port
  • Methods to get local and remote host properties

To Dustin Voss' AsyncSocket? I've used that one a little and found it to be pretty good. Is this one better? faster? Surely someone here has used them both and has some perspective.
