Serial Framework
The Serial Framework is a Software Development Kit (SDK) that simplifies serial port communication (COM, UART, RS232) for software developers on Windows and macOS platforms. Streamline your interaction with modems, barcode scanners, IoT devices, and other serial equipment with our robust and easy-to-use API. The framework is a part of the Wireless Communication Library but can be used as a standalone library. Note: Native macOS support is available starting from version 8.0.0.0. The Serial Framework is available in three editions:
The Serial Framework .NET Edition is the native set of the .NET classes written in C#. It is designed to be used with Microsoft .NET:
.NET Framework, .NET Standard, .NET Core, and .NET on Windows and macOS platforms. The library can be used to
develop WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET, .NET MAUI, service, console, Unity, and
Python applications.

compiler). The package includes pre-compiled libraries for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013,
2015, 2017, 2019, 2022, and 2026. It uses only standard C++ runtime libraries. C++ Edition supports x86,
x64, ARM, ARM64, and ARM64EC architecture on Windows platforms.
