# Sockets
This project is a simple example of a socket server and client.
Sockets are used to send and receive data through a network.
The default host is localhost, and the default port is 9997.
This project is specially for wrapping a text file into an object and send it as JSON to a connected client.
## Start the server
```bash
python server.py
```
The server will start on port 9997.
## Start the client
```bash
python client.py
```
The client will connect to the server on port 9997.
## The Client
The client connects to the server.
In the next a command line starts.
Here you can type a path to a text file. The server will send the file to the client in JSON format.
### Example
```bash
Dateipfad: server-file.txt
```
The answer will be a JSON object like this:
```json
{
"file_name": "/home/friedjof/sockets/server-file.txt",
"file_content": "Hello World"
}
```
