CoolSocket - Bidirectional TCP Socket Layer for JavaSE

CoolSocket is a scalable approach to TCP socket communication. It can send just text, or it can send large bytes just like usual streams. The difference is it injects its own communication bits into the bytes delivered so that your requests (e.g, stop or cancel an operation) can be processed.

Here is a quick example:

import CoolSocket;
import ActiveConnection;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException
    {
        final int port = 4534;
        CoolSocket coolSocket = new CoolSocket(port)
        {
            @Override
            public void onConnected(ActiveConnection activeConnection)
            {
                try {
                    activeConnection.reply("Hello!");
                    System.out.println(activeConnection.receive().getAsString()); // Merhaba!
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        };

        coolSocket.start();

        try (ActiveConnection activeConnection = ActiveConnection.connect(new InetSocketAddress(port), 0)) {
            System.out.println(activeConnection.receive().getAsString()); // "Hello!"
            activeConnection.reply("Merhaba!");
        } finally {
            coolSocket.stop();   
        }
    }
}
