Im curious if anyone {is interested in, has considered, has attempted, has succeeded in} creating a Julia package that wraps one of the implementations of [DDS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Distribution_Service).

If not, it seems like in principle this should be possible, e.g. using the `Cxx` package to wrap [OpenDDS](http://opendds.org/) libraries which are C++, or maybe even just using Julia’s native C calling functionality to call the [RTI Connext C API](https://community.rti.com/static/documentation/connext-dds/5.3.0/doc/api/connext_dds/api_c/index.html).

I haven’t any experience with either technique yet (nor much with DDS in general, just a bit of exposure to the RTI C API) to have a good sense of which of these is the better direction to take. Any thoughts about that would be welcome!

P.S. I couldn’t find a more appropriate domain for this (I figured middleware is a very generalized data import/export)… If I’ve missed a more appropriate place to ask this please let me know.

Wondering if you got anywhere with this. I think I may do something similar with [OPC-UA](https://www.open62541.org/).

I didn’t, no. I wasn’t aware of OPC-UA, thanks for the tip.
