New Client SDK for OS X Available for Download

Version 1.0 of our new Lightstreamer Client SDK for the OS X platform is now available.

The OS X client library is directly derived from the iOS client library, with which is API compatible. It supports automatic reconnection, automatic resubscription, stream sensing and advanced thread pooling just like the iOS one.




A sample application is included, with full source code, which displays our classical stock list demo. 

Connecting with Lightstreamer with our new SDK could not be easier: create your client, create your connection info and open the connection:

_client= [[LSClient alloc] init];

LSConnectionInfo *connectionInfo= [LSConnectionInfo

connectionInfoWithPushServerURL:SERVER_URL

pushServerControlURL:nil

user:nil password:nil

adapter:@"DEMO"];

[_client openConnectionWithInfo:connectionInfo delegate:self];

You may then proceed with a table subscription by creating your table info and subscribing with your client:

LSExtendedTableInfo *tableInfo= [LSExtendedTableInfo

extendedTableInfoWithItems:_itemNames

mode:LSModeMerge

fields:_fieldNames

dataAdapter:@"QUOTE_ADAPTER"

snapshot:YES];

_tableKey= [_client

subscribeTableWithExtendedInfo:tableInfo

delegate:self

useCommandLogic:NO];

Recall that Lightstreamer client libraries may throw exceptions locally and/or asynchronously  via the connection delegate. Be a good citizen and catch exceptions properly.

After your subscription, you will star receiving updates in your table delegate:

- (void) table:(LSSubscribedTableKey *)tableKey
  itemPosition:(int)itemPosition
  itemName:(NSString *)itemName
  didUpdateWithInfo:(LSUpdateInfo *)updateInfo {

// Your update-handling code here

}

If you have any question feel free to write on our forums in the iOS and OS X Client API section. Enjoy!
