UPnP Explorer is a user-friendly software designed to discover and explore UPnP devices on a network. It offers features such as tree view, actions management, querying variables, subscriptions, and web visitation. Additionally, it has a virtual device feature.
Furthermore, HiliSoft UPnP Explorer supports SSDP, Gena, SOAP, and HTTP. The software also has a built-in XML parser specifically designed for UPnP description files only. The software provides friendly views such as the Device Explorer, File View, and Control Point Monitor. The Device Explorer enables users to explore and manipulate devices, including querying variables, executing actions, and subscribing to events. The software also has a filtering feature that allows users to exclude devices based on their preferences.
HiliSoft UPnP Explorer is based on the HiliSoft UPnP SDK, which is written in ANSI C. The UPnP Stack comprises a set of APIs that developers can use to develop UPnP devices and control points. Notably, the SDK works on Windows, VxWorks, and Linux. The SDK is written in ANSI C, supports Windows/Linux/vxWorks, has tiny file sizes, and is suitable for embedded systems. Additionally, the SDK provides complete functions and APIs.
Lastly, HUGen is an assistant tool of the UPnP SDK that provides GUI and command-line tools that generate code skeleton based on HiliSoft UPnP SDK for UPnP device and control point from XML files. The generated code skeleton can be compiled and run on the system, providing example action results and variable values. Users can also add their extra code to customize the generated code. HUGen has both command-line and Windows GUI interfaces, allowing users to choose the preferred interface. The command-line interface (HUGenCmd) can be used in makefiles or VC projects.
