Introduction to AuroraCore

Welcome to AuroraCore (Advanced Multi-Modal Framework 3 Core), a high-performance, production-ready logging and file monitoring framework designed specifically for Android environments.

🎯 What is AuroraCore?

AuroraCore is a comprehensive C++ framework that provides two essential components for Android applications:

  1. High-Performance Logger - A robust logging system with daemon mode support
  2. Real-Time FileWatcher - An efficient file system monitoring solution

Built with performance and reliability in mind, AuroraCore is designed to handle the demanding requirements of modern Android applications while maintaining minimal resource overhead.
