AllJoyn Open Source Project
AllJoyn is an open source software framework that makes it easy for devices and apps to discover and communicate with each other. Developers can write applications for interoperability regardless of transport layer, manufacturer, and without the need for Internet access. The software has been and will continue to be openly available for developers to download, and runs on popular platforms such as Linux and Linux-based Android, iOS, and Windows, including many other lightweight real-time operating systems.
In October 2016, the AllSeen Alliance who sponsored the AllJoyn Project, and the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) merged. One result of the merger was the creation of the OCF Resource to AllJoyn Interface Mapping specification to assist vendors migrating from AllJoyn to OCF. The specification includes detailed mapping information to provide equivalency between AllJoyn defined Interfaces and OCF defined Resources. It also provides mapping for Device Types (AllJoyn to/from OCF), identifies equivalent OCF Resources for both mandatory and optional AllJoyn interfaces, and for each interface defines the detailed Property by Property mapping using OCF defined extensions to JSON schema to programmatically define mappings.
Now in its final major release, AllJoyn has been tested, deployed and improved to create products, apps, services that connect and communicate across dozens of product lines.
