WHAT

This project provides language idiomatic implemention in .NET for using IndySDK API.

This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact opencode@microsoft.com with any additional questions or comments.

WHY

IndySDK project does include a .NET wrapper. This project is different.

The IndySDK .NET wrapper expects developers to know the intrinsic details of IndySDK, explicitly needing to know the data contracts. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make it very difficult to use.

We believe .NET engineers should work with a library that is much easier to use and less fragile. This means an idiomatic, object oriented approach over json string data manipulation.

IndyDotNet (this project) benefits (and goals) are:

• Work with defined types. No need to understand the data contracts and json structure.
• Make calls synchronously or asynchronously as you need with ease. No need to make ever call asynchronous needlessly.
• Much better isolation of the IndySDK API resulting in your projects being less fragile.
• Better compatibility between IndySDK versions.
• Better support on all OSes (depends on IndySDK ability to address OS specific handling as well, unfortunately)
• Better error messages.
• More intuitive CLI implementation.
• DotNetPay serves as an example for implementing specific Indy SDK Payment API.
• For you developers, a true object oriented implementation that follows SOLID principles.

Acknowledgements

Thank you to the indy-sdk-dotnet wrapper project members for assistance, even if indirectly helping us. It would have been much more time consuming if we only had the IndySDK rust libraries to rely on for information.
