is related to Caucho's Hessian Binary Web Service Protocol which is implemented in Java and available at www.caucho.com.

“The Hessian binary web service protocol makes web services usable without requiring a large framework, and without learning yet another alphabet soup of protocols. Because it is a binary protocol, it is well-suited to sending binary data without any need to extend the protocol with attachments.”

Microsoft's .Net and the upcoming importance of mobile devices requires fast and small protocols such as Hessian. Therefore we have already converted parts of Hessian's functionality into C# for availability at .Net. Our source is available under GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

Since November 2004 HessianC# is published at Sourceforge. Sourceforge is the largest repository of Open Source code and applications available on the Internet. It provides free services to Open Source developers.
