Connectivity APIs

Network socket

Non-IP cellular socket: Send and receive 3GPP non-IP datagrams (NIDD) using the cellular IoT feature.
Socket: The abstract base class for all of the protocol-specific socket types.
SocketAddress: Used to represent the IP address and port pair of a unique network endpoint.
SocketStats: Read the network socket statistics for all sockets (both currently in use and closed).
TCPSocket: Send a stream of data over TCP.
UDPSocket: Send packets of data over UDP.

Cellular: Connect to the internet over a Cellular device.
Ethernet: Connect to the internet over Ethernet.
Mesh: Use the IPv6 mesh network topologies through the Nanostack networking stack to connect to a mesh network: Wi-Sun or 6LoWPAN-ND.
Network status: Trigger a callback each time the network interface's status changes.
Wi-Fi: Connect to the internet over a Wi-Fi device.

DNS Resolver: Perform DNS host name resolutions to convert resource names to IP addresses.

BatteryService: Report battery charge levels to the user.
BLE: Interface with the BLE controller on the board.
GAP: Handle connectivity tasks.
GattClient: Initiate interactions with a GattServer to discover services, characteristics and descriptors and perform operations on them.
GattServer: Respond to a GattClient.
HeartRateService: Expose heart rate sensor data in a Bluetooth standard compliant way.
SecurityManager: Use pairing and optional bonding processes to authenticate and encrypt BLE links.

MessageBuilder: Construct NDEF messages, the common data format exchange for NFC messages.
MessageParser: An event-driven NDEF message parser for a data buffer.
NFCController: Emulate NFC tags that a smartphone can read and generate NDEF messages on demand.
NFC EEPROM: Store NDEF messages.
SimpleMessageParser: Similar to MessageParser, but includes subparsers for well-known NFC types records, such as Text, URI or Mime records, and produces usable objects out of the box.
