Chat Messenger App

This project is a prototype for a multi-client chat application built in Java, designed to demonstrate the fundamentals of network programming. The application utilizes client-server architecture, enabling real-time communication between connected users. By leveraging Java's Socket and I/O libraries, the app facilitates message exchange over TCP/IP, simulating a basic messaging service.

Features

• Real-time messaging: Supports real-time text-based communication between users.
• Basic networking: Implements networking functionality to establish communication between server and clients.

Java Libraries Used

• java.net.Socket: Used for establishing a connection between client and server.
• java.io.InputStream/OutputStream: Handles the sending and receiving of messages between users.
• java.util.Scanner: Reads user input for communication in the chat system.

How to Use

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/JulianFisla/Chat-Messenger-App.git

2. Run the server and client files in separate terminals.

3. Start chatting by entering your messages in the console.

Installation

1. Ensure you have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.

2. Compile the code using the command:

   javac *.java

3. Run the server:

   java Server

4. Run the Client

   java Server

Known Issues:

1. Text display may behave differently on various machines due to system compatibility.
