• In order to achieve maximum compatibility with more environments and reduce the requirements for the compiler version, code in accordance with the C++ 14 specification.
• To maximize support for cross - system platforms (such as Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android), the core protocol part (wrapped in the MCP namespace) is implemented using only the C++ standard library, and platform - specific APIs are not used unless necessary.
• To ensure that the protocol implementation is as lightweight, extensible, and maintainable as possible, the code should be as concise as possible, and complex components and large - scale open - source libraries should not be used unless necessary.
