Internet Communications Engine (Ice)

Ice is a comprehensive RPC framework with support for C++, .NET, Java, Python, JavaScript and more.

Install

$ npm install ice --save

Usage

var Ice      = require('ice').Ice;
var Glacier2 = require('ice').Glacier2;
var IceStorm = require('ice').IceStorm;
var IceGrid  = require('ice').IceGrid;

var communicator = Ice.initialize(process.argv);
var proxy = communicator.stringToProxy("hello:tcp -h localhost -p 10000");

The npm package also includes the browser version of Ice for JavaScript. Add the necessary <script> tags to your html to include the Ice for JavaScript components you require. node_modules must server out from the root directory of your web server.

<script src="/node_modules/ice/lib/Ice.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/ice/lib/Glacier2.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/ice/lib/IceStorm.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/ice/lib/IceGrid.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var communicator = Ice.initialize();
    var proxy = communicator.stringToProxy("hello:ws -h localhost -p 10002");
</script>

Minified versions are available with the .min.js extension.
