The Lithnet ECMA2 framework is a .NET library that provides a simplified interface for creating ECMA2 connectors for the Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) synchronization engine.

It has native support for async operations, and provides a simplified interface for common operations such as creating and updating objects, and handling multivalued attributes.

The framework is available as a [NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Lithnet.Ecma2Framework/).

## Features

* Full async support
* Support for dependency injection
* Support for `IOptions<T>` pattern for configuration with validation
* Strongly typed MIM configuration
* Implements the producer/consumer pattern for high performance imports
* Removes the need to manage paging of import results back to MIM
* Exports are multithreaded by default
* Manages object import/export exceptions automatically and reports them back to MIM
* No need to implement `IMAExtensible*` interfaces. The framework contains a code generator that will create these for you
* Support for single-file assemblies

## Examples

You can see a full working example by referencing the [Lithnet.Okta.ManagementAgent](https://github.com/lithnet/okta-managementagent) project, which is based on this framework.

For a smaller, simple starting point program, you can refer to the [Lithnet.Ecma2Framework.Example](https://github.com/lithnet/ecma2-framework/tree/master/src/Lithnet.Ecma2Framework.Example) project in the GitHub repository.
