| **What is AllJoyn?** | ||
| **What is AllJoyn?** | ||
|
|
||
| Driven by the AllSeen Alliance, AllJoyn is an open-source, proximity-based connectivity and services framework. Specifically designed for the Internet of Things (IoT), it enables interoperability such that various devices can discover, connect, and communicate with each other directly, without the need for an intermediary server. | ||

| **Why AllJoyn?** | ||
| **Why AllJoyn?** | ||
|
|
||
| The AllJoyn framework provides a common language interface that enables IoT devices to communicate and interact with each other, regardless of brand, platform, operating system or underlying transport technology. For developers, this translates to reduced time to market and lower cost while offering consumers a simple connectivity solution for all their devices. | ||

| **AllJoyn Architecture** | ||
|
|
||
| The AllJoyn framework establishes a standard by which devices and apps can advertise and discover each other. AllJoyn devices describe their capabilities via service interfaces on a virtual bus. The AllJoyn Bus is composed of two types of nodes: | ||
|
|
||
| * *Routing Notes (RN)* - Also referred to as "Routers", they can talk to any node. | ||
| * *Leaf Nodes (LN)* - Also referred to as "Applications", they can talk to routing nodes or other leaf nodes via routing nodes. | ||

| * *AllJoyn Service Frameworks* - Interoperable, cross-platform modules that define common interfaces between devices | ||

|
||
| The AllJoyn framework comes in 2 flavors: | ||
|
|
||
| * *Standard* - Primarily used for non-embedded devices with support for full set of core libraries | ||
| * *Thin* - Suitable for IoT devices that are resource constrained and requires an AllJoyn router in the network | ||

|
||
| AllJoyn enables proximity based communication, allowing transport to occur over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, serial, and Power Line (PLC). However, the AllJoyn framework is transport-agnostic, thus allowing for any future transport mechanisms to be added. Additionally, bridge software can be created to link the AllJoyn framework to other systems like Zigbee, Z-wave, or the cloud. See more details & samples below on the AllJoyn Device System Bridge contribution to the AllSeen Alliance from Microsoft. | ||

| Device System Bridges (DSBs) can help facilitate communication across existing incompatible networks. DSBs offer a cost efficient and quick way to bring existing devices to AllJoyn as virtual devices on the AllJoyn network. This is done through a pre-baked AllJoyn producer implementation (Bridge), and implementing calls to SDK hooks to support translation of AllJoyn concepts to target devices (Adapter). Developers need not modify AllJoyn producers with a DSB, unless a change in the default behavior of the Bridge is desired.

| With the [AllJoyn Device System Bridge contribution](https://wiki.allseenalliance.org/gateway/dsb){:target="_blank"} from Microsoft, you can connect existing devices that use BACnet or Z-Wave to an AllJoyn network, thereby enabling existing devices to interact with new AllJoyn devices, as well as enabling cloud connectivity across all devices on the network. There is also a useful [tool](https://github.com/MS-brock/AllJoynToasterDemo/tree/master/getajxml){:target="_blank"} published which generates AllJoyn introspection XML from an existing AllJoyn device, with usage described in detail in a posting on [channel9.](https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Internet-of-Things-Blog/Step-By-Step-Building-AllJoyn-Universal-Windows-Apps-for-Windows-10-Public-Preview){:target="_blank"} | ||
| Be sure to check out samples and additional documentation below. We hope you’ll help build many more IoT bridges and contribute your bridges to the AllSeen Alliance. | ||
