SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides guidance on implementing real-time communication features in .NET applications, helping developers choose and implement the right protocols for their needs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Protocol Comparison: Understand the trade-offs between SignalR, Server-Sent Events (SSE), JSON-RPC 2.0, and gRPC streaming.
  • SignalR Implementation: Learn how to set up and use SignalR hubs for bidirectional communication, including groups, authentication, and scaling with backplanes.
  • SSE in .NET 10: Implement server-to-client push notifications using the built-in SSE support in ASP.NET Core.
  • JSON-RPC 2.0: Integrate with tooling protocols like LSP using StreamJsonRpc.
  • gRPC Streaming: Leverage high-performance streaming for service-to-service communication.
  • Use Case: You are building a live stock ticker application. This Skill will guide you on whether to use SignalR for its bidirectional capabilities and ease of use with browser clients, or SSE if only server-to-client push is needed.

Quick Start

Use the dotnet-realtime-communication skill to compare SignalR and SSE for real-time notifications.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between SignalR and Server-Sent Events for real-time communication in .NET?

Use SignalR for bidirectional communication and ease of use with browser clients, or SSE if only server-to-client push is needed. This Skill outlines the trade-offs between SignalR, SSE, JSON-RPC, and gRPC streaming.

What is the best way to implement a live data feed like a stock ticker in ASP.NET Core?

Use SignalR for bidirectional live stock ticker applications, or SSE for simple server-to-client push notifications using built-in .NET 10 support. This Skill guides you through both implementations.

How do I set up and scale SignalR hubs for real-time .NET applications?

Set up SignalR hubs for bidirectional communication and scale them using backplanes. This Skill provides guidance on server setup, hub implementation, client integration, group management, and authentication.

Does .NET 10 support Server-Sent Events (SSE) natively for server-to-client push?

Yes, .NET 10 supports Server-Sent Events (SSE) natively. You can implement server-to-client push notifications in ASP.NET Core using the built-in SSE support detailed in this Skill.

When should I use gRPC streaming instead of SignalR for inter-service communication?

Use gRPC streaming instead of SignalR when you need high-performance service-to-service communication. This Skill outlines protocol selection criteria for high-performance streaming scenarios.

Can I use JSON-RPC 2.0 in .NET for tooling protocols like Language Server Protocol (LSP)?

Yes, you can integrate with tooling protocols like LSP using JSON-RPC 2.0 and the StreamJsonRpc library. This Skill provides guidance on implementing JSON-RPC 2.0 for tooling applications.
