[Freeswitch-users] Which module to use?

[Stanislav Sinyagin]

the best approach is to have a separate daemon that connects to
FreeSWITCH and subscribes to events. Then you can asynchronously
process these events without affecting the call flow. There are
actually hundreds of example scripts, just search for keywords:
freeswitch, esl, event socket

There are also implementations of ESL protocol in many programming
languages, and you can choose depending on your skills and
requirements. For example, Golang or Erlang would allow you to spin
off a new thread every time you need it, and do some background
processing in parallel. But for many tasks, single-threaded processing
is enough, so Perl or Python would work fine.

You can also hand the call processing to such an external program --
for example, the XML dialplan executes park(), and your ESL program
picks up the control and performs what you need, like IVR, for
example.
