RbxNet is a definition-based networking framework for Roblox, built in TypeScript, but also available in Luau. It simplifies the creation and management of networking in Roblox experiences.
- Create a definitions file of all your networking-based objects in your game. This is a single source of truth for your networking objects. No more tracking instances manually, or having to programmatically create them manually. Each network object is represented by an identifier you define, and by default is created on the server at runtime.
- Scoped namespacing - Networking objects can be namespaced, so you can group related networking objects for easier organization.
- Simple contextual-based API for fetching and using the networking objects.
<DefinitionObject>.[Server|Client].GetTo fetch objects from your definitions as usable objects.
- Ability to add middleware to your networking objects. Type checking, rate limiting, restricting, logging, you name it.
