A simple multi-client chat application built with Java. This project demonstrates **server-client networking**, **multi-threading**, and **GUI interaction using Swing**.

## Features

- ✅ **Multi-client support** – Multiple users can chat in real-time.

- ✅ **Server-client architecture** – Clients connect to a central server.

- ✅ **Swing-based GUI** – A user-friendly chat interface.

    - Accepts multiple clients via Threads.

    - Broadcasts messages to all connected clients.

2. **ChatClient.java**

    - Connects to the server via sockets.

    - Sends user messages to the server.

    - Receives broadcasted messages.

3. **ChatClientGUI.java**
