NetRay
High-Performance Roblox Networking Library
NetRay streamlines Roblox networking with enhanced performance, reliability features like circuit breakers, and a developer-friendly API including type safety and middleware support. Build robust and efficient networked experiences with less boilerplate.
Optimized Performance
Automatic event batching, efficient binary serialization, and intelligent compression reduce network load and improve responsiveness.
Enhanced Reliability
Built-in Circuit Breakers prevent cascading failures, while robust error handling and timeouts make your networking more resilient.
Type Safety & Validation
Define data structures for your events and requests. NetRay automatically validates payloads, catching errors early in development.
Flexible Middleware
Intercept, modify, or block network traffic using a powerful middleware system. Implement logging, rate limiting, or custom validation with ease.
Modern Developer Experience
Clean API using Promises for asynchronous requests, clear event handling patterns, and priority queues simplify complex networking code.
Built-in Monitoring
Debug signals provide visibility into internal events, errors, and potentially network traffic, aiding optimization and troubleshooting.
Simple & Powerful API
- Server-Side
- Client-Side
-- Server: Register and handle an event
local myEvent = NetRay:RegisterEvent("SimpleGreeting", {
typeDefinition = { message = "string" }
})
myEvent:OnEvent(function(player, data)
print(player.Name, "sent:", data.message)
-- Reply back to just that player
myEvent:FireClient(player, { message = "Server received: ".. data.message })
end)
print("NetRay Server event handler ready.")
-- Client: Get event reference and interact
local myEvent = NetRay:GetEvent("SimpleGreeting")
-- Listen for server's reply
myEvent:OnEvent(function(data)
print("Server replied:", data.message)
end)
-- Fire event to server after a delay
task.delay(3, function()
local playerName = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Name
print("Client sending greeting...")
myEvent:FireServer({ message = "Hello from ".. playerName })
end)
