Netlib Architecture

Netlib Architecture

The Netlib consists of three major components:

• [Netlib API]: an API to access different network protocols and services in the same way
• [Netlib API implementations]: the different implementations to access different network protocols and services, inclusive protocol stack to communicate to Tor
• [Netlib Tools]: many alternative ways using the Netlib API in your Java application or as separate application

You can imagine the [Netlib API implementations] as the "backend" that is doing all the difficult network protocol stuff. And you can imagine the [Netlib Tools] as the "frontend" that gives your application access to the Netlib "backend" using many different ways, e.g. by providing helper APIs or by redirecting standard Java APIs to the Netlib "backend".
