Star has developed StarXpand SDK, initially targeting React Native but scheduled to later include other native and alternative cross-platform environments, to help reduce the development time and maintenance costs associated with printer connection. The SDK features a new StarIO10 framework that provides a number of advantages including asynchronous communication allowing print jobs to take place in parallel, lowering implementation costs and the possibility of bugs while improving code readability. As StarIO10 is emulation-free, one StarXpand document will work with any current Star POS / Mobile printer. Star has published StarXpand SDK for React Native on the popular GitHub site where developers around the world publish, share program code, and discuss integration. www.Star-EMEA.com All-in-one video conferencing solution IRIS, a plug and play, all-in-one video conferencing solution from digital lifestyle accessories brand Trust International B.V., transforms almost any office space or small meeting room into a professional video conferencing space.
