Hazelcast .NET brings the full power of the Hazelcast high-performance, in-memory computing platform to the Microsoft .NET ecosystem. The Hazelcast .NET Client allows you to elastically scale your .NET caches at high read speeds, to access all of Hazelcast data structures such as distributed maps, queues, topics and more. All, with enterprise level security through SSL and mutual authentication.
Documentation for the client is provided on the documentation site, with examples, guides and FAQs, and a complete reference documentation for the public API.
The .NET client itself is distributed via NuGet as a package named Hazelcast.NET. It can be installed like any other NuGet package, either via the Visual Studio GUI, or via the package manager. Note that Hazelcast is composed of two parts: the server, and the client. Browse to Hazelcast IMDG to find out how to obtain and run the server part.
The Hazelcast .NET solution is Open Source, released under the Apache License 2.0, and welcomes contributions. The project lives here on GitHub, where you can obtain the source code, report issues, and interract with the community. Contributions are welcome!
The Hazelcast .NET Client stable version is currently version 3. See this branch for more information about version 4 of the client.
The master branch is the development branch for the upcoming version 4 of the client. Version 4 is currently in alpha stage, which means that
- CODE IN THIS BRANCH IS IN NO WAY SUPPORTED FOR ANY PRODUCTION USE
- API IN THIS BRANCH CAN CHANGE IN BREAKING WAYS AT ANY TIME
And, contributions, (constructive) criticism, ideas, requests, comments... are welcome!
This README file will be updated as development progresses.
