capnproto-dotnetcore

A Cap'n Proto implementation for .NET Core

"Cap'n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based RPC system." Whilst the original implementation is written in C++ there are several ports to other languages. This is a C# implementation for .NET Core.

Disclaimer: Neither this project nor its author are affiliated with Cap'n Proto. This is just yet another independent implementation of the specification. The following sections assume that you are familiar with Cap'n Proto and probably its GitHub project.

Getting started

For building from scratch you will need Visual Studio >= 2019 (e.g. Community Edition) with suitable workloads for C# / .NET Core (currently .NET Core 2.1) development. For the test suite, you will also need the C++ native workload, vcpkg and Cap'n Proto release 0.7.0:

vcpkg install capnproto

Solution/project structure is as follows:

  • Capnp.Net.sln contains three projects:
    • Capnp.Net.Runtime is the runtime implementation, a .NET assembly.
    • capnpc-csharp is the compiler backend for C# language
    • Capnp.Net.Runtime.Tests is an MS Unit Testing assembly, containing - you guessed it - the test suite
  • CapnpCompatTest.sln compiles to a native x86 executable which depends on the original Cap'n Proto C++ implementation. It is (partially) required by the test suite for interoperability testing.
