Lightstreamer .NET Standard Client (Unified API) 5.1.1

The new .NET client library introduces full support for the Unified Client API model that we have been introducing in all client libraries for some years now (indeed the first "unified" library was JavaScript 6.0). The big advantage in using the Unified API is that the same consistent interface and behavior are guaranteed across different client platforms. In other words, the same abstractions and internal mechanisms are provided for very different platforms (Web, Andorid, Java, iOS, ...), while respecting the conventions, styles, and best practice of each platform.

The API allows to subscribe to real-time data pushed by the server and to send any message to the server. The library offers automatic recovery from connection failures, automatic selection of the best available transport, and full decoupling of subscription and connection operations. The subscriptions are always meant as subscriptions "to the LightstreamerClient", not "to the Server"; the LightstreamerClient is responsible of forwarding the subscriptions to the Server and re-forwarding all the subscriptions whenever the connection is broken and then reopened.

Start digging into the API from the LightstreamerClient object and explore our Demo Examples. The .Net Client library can be available depending on Edition and License Type.
