Comparison with ncclient
Compared to ncclient,
netconf_client has several advantages:
- It's simpler (at the time of writing: 789 LoC vs 2889 LoC)
- lxml can be bypassed, which can work around issues where lxml breaks namespaces of e.g. identityrefs
- Support for TLS sessions
And a few disadvantages:
- Support for non-RFC-compliant devices isn't really included in
netconf_client netconf_clientdoes a lot less error checking and assumes you're sending valid messages to the server (however this can be useful for testing edge-case behavior of a server)
