MicroNet Documentation

MicroNet is an open source framework designed for developing complex online games. MicroNet uses a Microservice driven design approach to achieve a scalable and evolvable application design. MicroNet applications are generally developed in Java but it is also possible to integrate other languages into a MicroNet application using the MicroNet Composition concepts. MicroNet Composition makes it possible to integrate MicroNet into a Game Engine e.g. Unity3D.

The MicroNet Core Framework provides components to abstract the low level aspects: networking, serialization, and persistence. Presenting them to the developer in a convenient way. On top of MicroNet’s low level functionality the framework provides high level game functionality in the form of a Service Catalog which allows the developer to quickly integrate often required functionality e.g. user management, matchmaking, items, shops, or vehicles into a game project.

The MicroNet Tools are a plug-in collection for the Eclipse IDE. The plug-ins provide a convenient way to develop the overall application behavior of an application that is composed of multiple Microservices.
