1. overview

mBus is a lightweight messaging system providing communication between daemons and applications. enabling development of component based distributed applications.

every daemon registers with a unique namespace and a set of procedures with various number of arguments under the namespace. procedure request and responce are in JSON format. any daemon can post an event under registered namespace with various number of arguments in JSON format. any daemon or application can subscribe to events with namespaces and can call procedures from other namespaces.

mBus consists of two parts; a server and client[s]. server interface for other daemons/applications to register themselves, send events and call procedures from other daemons/applications.

all messaging is in JSON format, and communication is based on TLV (type-length-value) messages.

mBus framework has built in applications; broker, subscribe, command and publish. broker is a very simple implementation of server and is the hearth of mBus. subscribe is to listen every messages generated by either server or clients, and useful for debug purposes. publish is for publishing an event, and command is for calling a procedure from connected clients.

mBus client library (libmbus-client) is to simplify development of software using mbus (connecting to it).
