.NET Comparison

Both the Python and .NET clients expose the same API surface with idiomatic naming for their respective language.

Side-by-Side

Concept	.NET (`AccordionQ2Client`)	Python (`AccordionQ2Client`)
Lifecycle	`IDisposable` / `using`	Context manager / `with`
Methods	`GetValueAsync(name)`	`get_value(name)`
Concurrency	`async` / `await`	Synchronous (thread-safe)
Nullability	`string?`	`None`
Config	`ChannelConfigRequest.Enabled = true`	`ChannelConfigRequest(enabled=True)`
Enums	`ChannelTypes.Analog`	`ChannelTypes.ANALOG`
Errors	`AccordionQ2ApiException`	`AccordionQ2ApiError`
Type annotations	Full (Nullable Reference Types)	Full (PEP 484, mypy strict)
Dependencies	Newtonsoft.Json	None (stdlib only)
Install	`dotnet add package AccordionQ2.WebApiClient`	`pip install accordionq2`
Package	NuGet	PyPI

Code Examples

=== "Python"

```python
from accordionq2 import AccordionQ2Client

with AccordionQ2Client("http://raspberrypi:5000") as client:
    status = client.connection.get_status()
    voltage = client.resources.get_value("Voltage.VDD")
    print(f"Connected: {status.is_connected}, VDD: {voltage}")
```

=== ".NET (C#)"

```csharp
using AccordionQ2.WebApiClient;

using var client = new AccordionQ2Client("http://raspberrypi:5000");
var status = await client.Connection.GetStatusAsync();
var voltage = await client.Resources.GetValueAsync("Voltage.VDD");
Console.WriteLine($"Connected: {status.IsConnected}, VDD: {voltage}");
```

When to Use Which

Scenario	Recommended Client
Test automation scripts	Python
Raspberry Pi / embedded Linux	Python or .NET
ASP.NET services / Azure	.NET
Jupyter notebooks / data analysis	Python
Desktop applications (WPF, WinForms)	.NET
CI/CD pipelines	Either
