SIP SIMPLE Client SDK

= Developer Guide =

[[TOC(SipDeveloperGuide, depth=2)]]

The goal of ''SIP SIMPLE client SDK'' is to allow easy development of Real Time Applications based on SIP and related protocols. By using this SDK you can add Audio, Video, Instant Messaging, File Transfer and Desktop Sharing capabilities to an existing product or create a new product from scratch.

The application that uses SIP SIMPLE client SDK must import the relevant Python modules from it, start the engine than make use of the SDK classes and functions.

== Prerequisites ==

 1. Be familiar with [http://python.org Python programming language]

 2. Have basic knowledge of [http://www.tech-invite.com/Ti-sip-ex3261.html SIP protocol]

== High Level API ==

To develop your application you should use the Middleware API that abstract the complexity the low level protocols into a high-level middleware.
