This repository, netty-learning-example, serves as a practical learning resource for Netty, a high-performance network application framework. It aims to guide beginners and experienced developers through various aspects of Netty, from basic communication to advanced features like RPC and IoT integration. The repository demonstrates how to build real-world applications using Netty and related technologies, providing hands-on examples and code snippets.
The repository distinguishes itself through its comprehensive coverage of Netty concepts, ranging from introductory 'HelloWorld' examples to advanced topics like RPC with SOFABolt and MQTT for IoT. It complements theoretical explanations with practical, runnable code examples and links to detailed tutorials. The inclusion of articles on related technologies like Redisson and Gatling broadens its value beyond just Netty itself. The content leans heavily on blog posts providing depth and practical application.
- Basic - Getting Started: Includes fundamental examples covering basic Netty communication, including Telnet and HTTP servers, ideal for beginners.
- Basic - Communication Protocols: Covers commonly used protocols like HTTP and MQTT, with examples demonstrating practical implementation and integration.
