The invention discloses a universal SOCKET communication and process management platform and method in an asynchronous communication mode. According to the universal SOCKET communication and process management platform and method in the asynchronous communication mode, the development of SOCKET communication programs is simplified, a developer can concentrate on service logics without concerning programming technology details such as SOCKET communication and process management, the development efficiency is increased and the development threshold is reduced. Implementation of a complete function comprises two platforms including an asynchronous communication platform and a service processing platform which exchange data through an information queue and a SOCKET communication mechanism in a UNIX domain, so that the processing capacity is expanded flexibly and the transactional throughput is improved. A platform process in the communication platform receives a connecting request so as to obtain a connection description symbol, transmits the connection description symbol to a communication process through an established description symbol transmission channel and closes the connection; the communication process takes over the connection, reads the request information and places the request information after being bound with a process serial number into a request queue; a distribution process in the processing platform reads the request and distributes the request to the processing process through an established data transmission channel; and the processing process after finishing processing is connected with the communication process and sends a response result.
