Goal
Make the crosstalk API more robust, with stable and predictable return error values that help identify potential problems.
Also added a permissive proxy that gracefully degrades to a no-op when an unknown method or property is called.
These two classes can help make cross-library calling less painful by removing the need to put
if
statements around everything in order to avoid a crash or bad data.Design
The code has been updated so that the CrossTalk API and also the client-side implementation in the unit tests can be used as templates for how to implement either in another library. This will cause code duplication, but I think it's preferable to causing yet another library dependency.
Testing
Added unit test to cover more edge cases.
