AsyncNetwork

AsyncNetwork short for AsynchronousNetwork is a library which implements an easy-to-use, fast, TCP network

Features

• Cross platform (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android etc...)
• Asynchronous
• Can handle lots of clients at once
• Easy-to-use
• Fast and efficient

How to use

To create a client you would do:

ClientSocket client = new ClientSocket();
client.onConnect(() -> WritablePacketBuilder.create().putByte(Byte.MAX_VALUE).build().writeAndClose(client));
client.connectLocalHost(/*Specify your port here (0-65535) example: 6000*/6000);

To create a server you would do:

ReadablePacket packet = ReadablePacketBuilder.create().aByte().build();
ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket();
server.onConnection(client ->
{
	client.always(true);
	packet.read(client, readResult ->
	{
		byte value = readResult.poll();
		System.out.println("value=" + value);
	});
	client.onDisconnect(disconnectionType -> System.out.println("Disconnected" + disconnectionType));
});
server.bindLocalHost(6000);
while(true);

And you're finished! now you can use AsyncNetwork for your networking projects. Good luck!

Server selector

Windows

Windows uses IO completion ports for best asynchronous performance.

Linux (Android is based on Linux)

Linux has sys/epoll which is famous for it's O(1) epoll_wait performance.

Mac

Mac has FreeBSD features including kqueue which is also O(1).

Other

Other operating systems are not supported by different native implementations, so AsyncNetwork uses the already implemented java.nio.channels.Selector.
