By "hell of a lot easier" this is an example of what I mean: I've been
working on a GNUnet library for nodejs. Just to do something simple like
query the arm service for a list of services involves writing pages of
code to read the config file, find the socket arm is listening on, pack
up and send a GNUNET_ARM_Message then listen for a response and parse it.
By contrast, if it was using dbus, an entire script to list the running
services would look like this:
#!/usr/bin/node
var dbus = require("dbus-native");
var systemBus = dbus.systemBus();
systemBus.getService("org.gnunet.arm").getInterface("/",
"org.gnunet.arm", function(err, arm) {
arm.request_service_list(function(err, list) {
console.log(list); // list is an array of service names
});
});
