| Broad Client
Support |
The Lightstreamer Server
is capable of delivering real-time data to heterogeneous clients,
based on many different technologies. Please check out our online demos to see
some examples of several client technologies. |
| |
 |
|
| Web Browsers |
Lightstreamer is able to update the contents
of an HTML page in real time, through server-pushed events, without
the need to download Java applets, ActiveX controls or plug-ins.
This paradigm goes beyond classic AJAX and is defined as Streaming AJAX or Comet. The zero-footprint client consists of
a JavaScript library, which can be added to the HTML pages of any existing site.
This makes it possible to update the data on a page in an extremely efficient
and reliable way. The provided JavaScript library ensures compatibility with
most browsers available on the market and can coexist with most third-party AJAX frameworks
and toolkits. It means that any advanced AJAX application
can be enriched with live data pushed by Lightstreamer. In any
case, the Lightstreamer JavaScript library provides a visual
layer which offer many typical Rich Application features, such as
table manipulation, style-sheet management, data widgets, etc.

Mobile Web Browsers |
The
Lightstreamer JavaScript library work on many mobile browsers
too. This means that the true-push paradigm of Lightstreamer is
extended to many mobile devices, with the possibility to visualize
any data in real time with the same ease and immediacy as visiting a normal web page. |

|
|
| Flash & Flex Applications |
Lightstreamer
can push real-time data to any Flash or Flex application.
An advanced front-end can be developed using Flash and Flex
tools, then Lightstreamer Server can be used to deliver any
real-time data in a very optimized, light and reliable way. |
| |
|
|
| Java Midlets |
The Java ME (Micro Edition) technology is available on all of the main models of mobile phones, offering the chance to distribute midlets written in Java for execution
on the phones. Setting up Lightstreamer clients in the form of midlets is immediate. This makes it possible to have a mobile application that presents updates in streaming/push
fashion, taking advantage of Lightstreamer's powerful bandwidth control mechanisms, which are seen to be even more vital in a mobile environment. |
| |
|
|
| Thick Applications |
Lightstreamer is also the ideal solution to
deliver real-time streaming data to any thick desktop application,
which can be written in any languages (Java, .NET,
etc.).
Lightstreamer's powerful bandwidth, frequency and multiplexing mechanisms are indispensable for any kind of application that needs to receive a flow of asynchronous data
through the Internet or an intranet. |
