This class wraps the client that communicates with the Wwise Authoring application via WAAPI. Given that only one request can be pending on the websocket, a queue is used to consume all calls sequentially. Messages sent to WAAPI use the JSON format and are serialized by Unity Json serialization. Helper classes (WaapiHelper) for serialization, keywords for WAAPI commands (WaapiKeywords), and classes for serializing message arguments and deserializing responses are found in AkWaapiHelper.cs. Uri.cs contains classes with fields containing URI strings for WAAPI calls and error messages. More...
