Pony Express

If you're looking for a cross-platform library that allows for inter-module, inter-application, and inter-computer communication, look no further than Pony Express. With this library, you can develop modular applications that don't depend on sharing the same process space, thanks to its Post Office metaphor, where your modules can register POBoxes that can be used to send messages back and forth.

Once two applications are connected, your application no longer needs to concern itself with whether or not a module is within the same process space, on the same computer, or across the network. You no longer have to maintain socket connections or worry about packetizing your data, since Pony Express takes care of the low-level details associated with network programming for you.

Additionally, you can seamlessly connect different architectures using different byte ordering network libraries. Currently, Pony Express supports Mac OS X, IRIX, and Linux, so it's compatible with a variety of operating systems.

Overall, Pony Express provides a convenient and hassle-free way for developers to build modular applications that can communicate with each other across different platforms and systems. If you're looking for a cross-platform communication library that saves time and streamlines your development process, Pony Express is definitely worth checking out.
