Apache MINA

<p>Apache MINA (Multipurpose Infrastructure for Network Applications) is an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open source</a> <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> network <a href="/facts/Application_framework/xSzKMgdn">application framework</a>. MINA can be used to create <a href="/facts/Scalability/jh7JomPa">scalable</a>, high performance <a href="/facts/Computer_network/3w5RM99p">network applications</a>. MINA provides unified <a href="/facts/Application_programming_interface/GMlN4vUr">APIs</a> for various transports like <a href="/facts/Transmission_Control_Protocol/WW4sPrt9">TCP</a>, <a href="/facts/User_Datagram_Protocol/dxLU0D6q">UDP</a>, <a href="/facts/Serial_communication/r5xP7P1c">serial communication</a>. It also makes it easy to make an implementation of custom transport type. MINA provides both high-level and low-level network APIs.
</p><p>A user application interacts with MINA APIs, shielding the user application from low level <a href="/facts/I%2fO/WQTE8Jas">I/O</a> details. MINA internally uses I/O APIs to perform the actual I/O functions. This makes it easy for the users to concentrate on the application logic and leave the I/O handling to Apache MINA.
