[Freeswitch-users] best FS interface for development

[Stephen Dame]

Brett,

 

For simple stuff that doesn't need to scale, I use a 5th approach,   I just
use bash scripts, php, and a few ajax calls that just call fs_cli -X. to do
100% of functionality.   built a simple switchboard that shows live events,
plays sound cues, transfers calls into conferences etc.   ajax is getting
events every second to update UI.

 

Not pretty, but just took a few days to code and get into production.

 

Regards,

Stephen

The Adhearsion framework firmly takes the 3PCC approach via inbound event
socket, and does a similar thing on Asterisk. We believe that to be the best
way to isolate business logic from the switch.

There seems to be at least 4 general ways for customizing FS:

- Use the event socket and build an app to interface with it

- Use mod lua, or similar, to develop in a particular language

- Develop your own 'module' to interface directly with the core

- Use the XML interface to implement IVR, PBX, and voicemail type
functionality and all the rest.

 

How prevalent is each approach in the community?  It seems like everyone is
doing a little of both, but maybe someone has a better handle of what the
actual ratios are?  

 

Which is best suited for an arbitrarily large and complex application?  I
realize this isn't a simple question-what I want is to understand the most
evolved and featureful way to interface with FS?  I don't want to adopt an
approach which isn't being actively maintained or is missing features.  As
new stuff is added to FS, which approach will allow me to adopt those new
features most easily?

 

Thanks!
Brett
