NetworkingC

NetworkingC is a lightweight, open-source networking library designed for embedded systems and resource-constrained environments. It provides a simplified interface for implementing common networking protocols, such as TCP, UDP, and HTTP, while minimizing memory and computational overhead. Unlike traditional networking stacks like lwIP or FreeRTOS+, NetworkingC prioritizes ease of use and modularity, making it suitable for developers working with microcontrollers and minimal hardware.

The library abstracts low-level details, allowing developers to focus on application logic rather than hardware-specific intricacies. It supports both polling and interrupt-driven models, offering flexibility depending on the system’s requirements. NetworkingC includes built-in support for Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and other common interfaces, with optional drivers for additional peripherals. Its modular design enables selective inclusion of features, reducing binary size when only specific protocols are needed.

NetworkingC is licensed under a permissive open-source license, facilitating integration into proprietary or commercial projects. The library is actively maintained with regular updates, including bug fixes and new protocol implementations. It is commonly used in IoT applications, robotics, and other embedded systems where efficient networking is essential but resource constraints are a concern.

Documentation and examples are provided to assist developers in implementation, though familiarity with basic networking concepts is recommended. The library’s simplicity and efficiency make it a viable alternative for projects where traditional networking stacks may be overly complex or resource-intensive.
