EventSourceClient 1.0.0

EventSourceClient: Robust Server-Sent Events (SSE) Client for .NET

The EventSourceClient library offers a comprehensive and easy-to-use implementation for consuming Server-Sent Events (SSE) in .NET applications. It's designed to efficiently handle real-time data streams, making it ideal for applications requiring seamless live updates like stock tickers, news feeds, or live notifications.

Features:

• Seamless Integration: Easily integrate with any .NET project to receive server-sent events.
• Resilience and Reliability: Features automatic reconnection logic to keep your application responsive and up-to-date despite network interruptions.
• Asynchronous Design: Utilizes an asynchronous API to ensure non-blocking operations, perfectly suited for modern C# applications.
• Flexible Configuration: Offers customizable options to alter client behavior to fit your needs, including custom headers for initial requests and adjustable reconnection times.
• Event Filtering: Capable of filtering and responding to specific event types directly from the server.
• Logging Support: Comes with integrated logging capabilities to assist in debugging and monitoring the client's behavior in production environments.
• Cross-Platform: Compatible with any platform that supports .NET Standard, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Getting Started:

To start receiving SSE, initialize the EventSourceClient with the server URL, configure your event handlers, and begin streaming. The client manages all connection and stream parsing aspects.

var eventSourceClient = new EventSourceClient(url, new HttpClient(), logger, new EventSourceExtraOptions());
Console.WriteLine("Client is now listening to the SSE server...");

eventSourceClient.EventReceived += (sender, e) => {
    Console.WriteLine($"Received Event: {e.Type}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Data: {e.Data}");
    Console.WriteLine($"ID: {e.Id}");
    if (e.Retry.HasValue) {
        Console.WriteLine($"Retry: {e.Retry.Value}");
    }
};

eventSourceClient.StateChanged += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine($"State Changed: {e.ReadyState}");

await eventSourceClient.Stream();

Use Cases:

• Real-time dashboards
• Live notifications in web and desktop applications
• Financial applications requiring live updates of market data
• Any application needing to efficiently consume live data feeds
