# Networker

A simple to use TCP and UDP networking library for .NET, designed to be flexible, scalable and FAST.

## Supported Frameworks

* .NET Standard 2.0

* .NET Framework 4.7+ for Unity

## Features

* TCP

* UDP

* Socket pooling

* Object pooling

* Process thousands of requests per second

* Dependency Injection using [Micrsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ServiceCollection](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.dependencyinjection.servicecollection?view=aspnetcore-2.1)

* Logging using [Microsoft.Extensions.Logging](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.logging?view=aspnetcore-2.2)

* Works with [Unity Game Engine](https://unity3d.com) (.NET Framework only)

## Tutorial - Creating a Basic Unity Multiplayer Game with Networker

[Get started with this tutorial written by the library developer Mark Eastwood](https://markeastwood.net/?p=7)

## Example

Creating a server is easy..

````csharp

var server = new ServerBuilder()

                .UseTcp(1000)

                .UseUdp(5000)

                .RegisterPacketHandlerModule()

                .RegisterPacketHandlerModule()

                .UseZeroFormatter()

                .ConfigureLogging(loggingBuilder =>

                                    {

                                        loggingBuilder.AddConsole();

                                        loggingBuilder.SetMinimumLevel(

                                            LogLevel.Debug);

                                    })

                .Build();

server.Start();

````

You can handle a packet easily using dependency injection, logging and built-in deserialisation.

````csharp

public class ChatPacketHandler : PacketHandlerBase

{

	private readonly ILogger _logger;

	public ChatPacketHandler(ILogger logger)

	{

		_logger = logger;

	}

	public override async Task Process(ChatPacket packet, IPacketContext packetContext)

	{

		_logger.LogDebug("I received the chat message: " + packet.Message);

		packetContext.Sender.Send(new ChatPacket

		{

			Message = "Hey, I got your message!"

		});

	}

}
