Pion Plugins
Pion allows you to easily extend its capabilities through the development of plugins. Plugins can be developed to provide specialized data processing logic, web services, and to enable support for different data encoding formats, databases and network protocols.
Reactors
Pion uses a special type of plugin called "Reactors" to define data processing logic. Any number of Reactor instances can be configured and connected together to create real-time data processing pipelines, or "Reaction Chains".
Services
Pion's Service plugins create web services that run within Pion's embedded web server.
Codecs
Pion's Codec plugins read or write events using a particular data encoding format.
Protocols
Pion's Protocol plugins are used by our SnifferReactor to generate events derived from live network traffic.
Databases
Pion's Database plugins store and retrieve information using the embedded database or external database servers.
