Cling is a Java and Android library implementing the UPnP Device Architecture 1.0 specification, allowing applications to expose UPnP services or build control points that discover and control UPnP/DLNA devices. It offers strict spec compliance, clean APIs, and optional support modules for common media server and renderer tasks.
Use cases
- build a DLNA media renderer in an Android app
- discover and control UPnP devices on the local network
- expose a Java service with a UPnP remoting interface
- cast media from an app to a smart TV or media player
- implement a UPnP control point application
- integrate UPnP/DLNA support into a JVM application
When to choose
- you need a spec-compliant UPnP stack in Java or Android
- you want to build DLNA control point or media server functionality
- you need an embeddable library with clean APIs and SPIs for customization
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with recent fixes
- you need UPnP 2.0 support
- you are not working on the JVM or Android platform
