Serial Communication Library
A cross-platform C++ library for interfacing with RS-232 serial ports, providing a modern C++ interface similar to PySerial.
What is Serial Communication Library?
Serial is a cross-platform C++ library for interfacing with RS-232 serial ports. It provides a modern C++ interface that resembles PySerial's workflow while offering the performance and control of native C++. The library solves the problem of accessing serial communication hardware consistently across different operating systems.
C++ developers working with robotics, embedded systems, or any application requiring low-level serial port communication across multiple platforms.
Developers choose Serial because it provides a clean, PySerial-like API with the performance of C++, works consistently across Windows, Linux, and macOS, and offers fine-grained control over timeouts and handshaking without external dependencies.
