Kanzi Connect fundamentals¶
Kanzi Connect network¶
Kanzi Connect uses client-server architecture to build a Kanzi Connect network. The network consists of a Kanzi Connect server and clients. The server hosts services and the clients act as consumers of these services.
Connected services¶
A Kanzi Connect service provides a contract between a Kanzi Connect client and the rest of the Kanzi Connect system. It usually includes the data model, and the means to modify and report the changes on the state of that service. A Kanzi Connect service provides an interface for a Kanzi Connect client and other services to perform operations and to exchange data.
Kanzi Connect SDK includes tools that enable you to:
Create and modify service interfaces
Generate source code template for various operating systems and environments
Simulate services and Kanzi Connect system without compiling code
Content and data¶
Kanzi Connect server has a built-in Content Service that acts as a distributed content database system. It allows Kanzi Connect clients to perform database queries and download file-based data, such as music and images.
