# Internet Communications Engine (Ice)
Ice is a comprehensive RPC framework with support for C++, .NET, Java, Python, JavaScript and more.
## Install
```bash
$ npm install ice --save
```
## Usage
```js
var Ice = require('ice').Ice;
var Glacier2 = require('ice').Glacier2;
var IceStorm = require('ice').IceStorm;
var IceGrid = require('ice').IceGrid;
var communicator = Ice.initialize(process.argv);
var proxy = communicator.stringToProxy("hello:tcp -h localhost -p 10000");
```
The npm package also includes the browser version of Ice for JavaScript. Add the necessary `<script>` tags to your html to include the Ice for JavaScript components you require. `node_modules` must server out from the root directory of your web server.
```html
<script src="/node_modules/ice/lib/Ice.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/ice/lib/Glacier2.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/ice/lib/IceStorm.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/ice/lib/IceGrid.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var communicator = Ice.initialize();
var proxy = communicator.stringToProxy("hello:ws -h localhost -p 10002");
</script>
```
Minified versions are available with the `.min.js` extension.
