Netty
Netty, cutely named for networking, is a high-performance, event-driven application framework. This framework helps developers create network applications by simplifying network functionality programming such as with User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket servers.
Network programming often involves low-level APIs and Netty provides a level of abstraction making it easier to develop with. The Netty architecture is scalable, supports many connections, and is designed to minimize latency and resource overhead.
Core features
Netty is the framework of choice for many network developers due to its reliability, scalability, and ease of use. The core features of Netty include the following:
- Built-in codec support: Netty has built-in encoders and decoders to help developers work with various protocols including HTTP and WebSocket. Netty negates the need for separate implementations for supported protocols.
- Customizable pipeline...
