A lightweight and efficient C++ application to manage "rooms" and communication over sockets. It enables JSON-based file manipulation, dynamic ID creation, and provides a structured environment for networking and client-server interactions.
All the essentials of a JSON-based “database” over raw sockets, in one place.
The server listens on a TCP port, handles each connected client in its own thread, and accepts three text commands:
- CREATE
- READ
- UPDATE
The client is a simple command-line interface that connects to 127.0.0.1 on the chosen port, sends your text commands, and prints whatever the server responds.

Clone the repository:
$ git clone git@github.com/hmartiins/rdb
$ cd rdbBuild the project using cmake and make:

$ makeRun the server and client in separate terminals:
#In one terminal
$ cd build/out
$ ./server#In another terminal
$ cd build/out
$ ./client.
