6.8. boing.net — Networking and encoding tools

The module boing.net provides classes and methods to ease the usage of sockets and networking encodings, like for example JSON, OSC, SLIP, etc.

class boing.net.Encoder

Abstract base class for implementing the encoders of all the different encodings.

encode(obj)

@abc.abstractmethod

Return the result obtained from encoding obj.

reset()

@abc.abstractmethod

Reset the encoder.

class boing.net.Decoder

Abstract base class for implementing the decoders of all the different encodings.

The Decoder class implements the composite pattern. Many decoders can be put in sequence into a single composed decoder using the sum operator.

decode(obj)

@abc.abstractmethod

Return the list of objects obtained from decoding obj.

reset()

@abc.abstractmethod
