Windows.Devices.AllJoyn Namespace

Important

The types in the Windows.Devices.AllJoyn namespace are deprecated, and might not be available in future versions of Windows. AllJoyn—sponsored by AllSeen Alliance—was an open-source discovery and communication protocol for Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios such as turning lights on and off, and reading temperatures. For alternatives, such as IoTivity Lite and IoTivity, refer to the iotivity.org website.

AllJoyn is an open source, cross-platform, DCOM-like framework, and protocol for making remotable method calls, remotely reading or writing properties, and sending one-way "signals" between applications (called "nodes") on a distributed bus. It is intended to be used primarily for Internet of Things scenarios such as turning on/off lights or reading temperatures.

The Windows.Devices.AllJoyn namespace allows apps to create endpoints on a distributed bus and do things like expose metadata or query another endpoint’s metadata.
