Object Exchange (OBEX) API

The prototypes defined in the obex.h, obexparser.h, and obexserver.h files relate to Object Exchange (OBEX), an efficient, compact binary protocol that enables a wide range of devices to wirelessly exchange data spontaneously in a simple, efficient manner. OBEX is primarily used as a push or pull application; OBEX is similar to HTTP but does not require the resources that an HTTP server requires, making OBEX perfect for devices with limited resources.

The following elements are associated with the OBEX feature area:

• OBEX Interfaces
• OBEX Functions
• OBEX Structures
• OBEX Enumerations
